Let's say an airplane flying about 3,000 feet over its target were to drop a 5 gallon water cooler jug full of piss onto a house....Would the house's roof be strong enough to withstand the dropping piss jug?
Keep in mind this house is roughly from around the Civil War era and is poorly kept up by the delinquent residents.

The more pressing question is, just how long is it going to take you to collect 5 gallons of piss?

We're about 30% of the way there. Started yesterday and had a solid drinking related event where everyone involved was probably pissing every 10 minutes.

The OP is making physics fun.

I do have a legit purpose for this info...
I already got a guy calculating the proper release point for an accurate run.

How well sealed is the jug? If the piss disperses mid flight, the roof has a decent chance. But no chance in hell if the jug is sealed.

It’s going to be properly sealed. We want maximum weight.

This. Especially if it's not well-maintained like you say.

I’d say drop multiple jugs of piss for both increased chances of hitting the target and fun.
Also please provide us with video entertainment when this happens.
And what frat house are you trying to ruin?

Not if we go carpet bombing style on them

We are going out to a field around Athens this weekend for some tests so we can get the feel of it...
Don’t worry bout which one. Just know our accuracy really matters.

Very intrigued by this. Let us know how the test drops go this weekend.
Wish you the best of luck though and hope a video surfaces somewhere.

FIFY
ETA...ok...real answer
You are talking about roughly 42 pounds of urine.
Speed at impact: 133.84 m/s
Time until impact: 13.66 s
Energy at impact: 170,187 joules = 125,525 lb/ft
Basically...the roof is fricked...

These numbers are correct. We need your airspeed to determine the distance from your target at which you need to release the payload. Windspeed and vector matter too, but guessing you won't be able to determine that and readjust your drop point =)

We can assume that the OP has a Norden Bombsight and associated autopilot system...right?

We're looking into getting the same guidance system as the tomahawk cruise missiles

Pilot claims we can go any speed required. I think our guy calculating the release point said at 150 MPH on a windless day would mean a drop about .2-.3 miles from the target.

Drop with no wind at exactly 3,000 ft up is 0.569167 miles from target. Madmaxvol, check my math
v = s/t
s = vt
s = 150 m/h x 13.66 sec
s = (150 m/3600 sec) x 13.66 sec
I know friction due to air resistance would cause an adjustment but with the high tech gear you guys are installing it should be good
EDT: Derp, I didn't allow for the height of the house. If you want it to drop center of the roof you have to adjust for that.

That's what I got.
