Roll On

How much pressure does a tank put on an object when it rolls over it (any tank will work) and how thick is missile proof glass?

I picked the M1 Abrams Main Battle tank.
There are three models, I chose the M1 / IPM1
According to the Specifications link below, the tank weighs 60 tons.
That is 60 X 2000 = 120,000 pounds.
From the specifications page the tank generates a Ground Pressure of 13.1 PSI

That is 13.1 pounds per square inch.
If a human body or something that had a surface area of 1 square foot.
I square foot is 12X12 = 144 square inches.

Taking the ground pressure of 13.1 PSI X 144 square inches = 1,886.4 pounds
Ouch, that would hurt.

As far as missile proof glass, I know of no such thing.
A missile would destroy the building the glass was in.

Here is the •M1 Abrams – Specifications link:

Google search that started all of my windy discourse [weight of a army tank]

From there I went to:
M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank Jul 9, 2005 … Over 8800 M1 and M1A1 tanks have been produced for the US Army and …. Due to the shear size and weight of the Abrams, the C-5 Galaxy, …

Edit, went looking for bullet resistant/ proof glass.
The site in the link below offers four types and thickness.
GLASS LEVEL I is 1.185”
