A projectile travel in air of pressure 10.1043 N/cm2 at 10 °C at a speed of 1,500 kilometers per hour. Find the Mach angle in degrees.
On October 3, 1967, pilot William J. "Pete" Knight set a world record that still stands to this day for the fastest flight by a crewed, powered aircraft by flying the North American Aviation X-15 as fast as Mach 6.7 at an altitude of 102,000 ft above sea level. Mach number is the ratio of an object’s velocity to the local speed of sound. Using the table for atmospheric properties with respect to altitude, calculate the speed of sound at an altitude of 100,000 ft. What must have been the velocity of the X-15?
5. Consider a Pitot probe in high-speed flow.(c) You are flying through air at static p∞ = 0.8 atm [abs]. Your velocimeter broke,but you are still receiving the following direct stagnation pressure readings (atm[abs]) from the Pitot probe mounted on your aircraft’s noise:
i) 3.152 ii) 1.357 iii) 38.428 iv) 0.8
Find the freestream Mach number corresponding to each of the pressure readings.
(d) If we are to believe reading (iv), can we step out of the aircraft safely? Why?

- A bicycle tire is fi lled with air at an absolute pressure of169.12 kPa, and the temperature inside is 30.0 °C. Supposethe valve breaks, and the air starts to exhaust out of the tireinto the atmosphere (pa = 100 kPa absolute and Ta =20.0 °C). The valve exit is 2.00 mm in diameter and is thesmallest cross-sectional area of the entire system. Frictionallosses can be ignored here; one-dimensional isentropicflow is a reasonable assumption. (a) Find the Machnumber, velocity, and temperature at the exit plane of thevalve (initially). (b) Find the initial mass flow rate out ofthe tire. (c) Estimate the velocity at the exit plane using theincompressible Bernoulli equation. How well does thisestimate agree with the “exact” answer of part (a)? Explain.arrow_forwardAn airplane approaches at an altitude of 10 km flying at 600 km/hr. 1. What would you hear, and when would you hear it, if the plane were "hypersonic", traveling three times the speed of sound, or "Mach 3"? That's approximately the fastest military aircraft in routine service today. note: To have higher speeds in the air takes considerably more energy. For example, after two and half minutes of flight, when the first-stage main engines of the Space X Falcon shut down, it is 80 kilometers high and moving at Mach 10 on its way to Earth orbit. The Mach number depends on the temperature of the air.arrow_forwardIf Reynolds number relate the inertial and viscous forces, which of the following relates the inertial andgravitational forces?A.
