Then the calculation for a penetration depth of 0.01Mt. This generates an impact force of 88200N or 8987.58Kg.

The drawing below the calculation (blue object) does explain whythere is a difference in impact force between the two calculations. It all depends on the amount of penetration. I don’t think that increasing the height by 90mm will make any difference.
