A piston moves along a tube containing air at an initial sound speed of 330 m/s. When the piston velocity is 250 m/s, it drives a shock wave which propagates at a velocity of 500 m/s. When the piston velocity is 100 m/s, it drives a shock at 400 m/s. Use the hypersonic equivalence principle to calculate the shock angles (in degrees) on a flat plate: At an incidence of 6 degrees and a Mach number of 7.2

Question
A piston moves along a tube containing air at an initial sound speed of 330 m/s. When the piston velocity is 250 m/s, it drives a shock wave which
propagates at a velocity of 500 m/s. When the piston velocity is 100 m/s, it drives a shock at 400 m/s.
Use the hypersonic equivalence principle to calculate the shock angles (in degrees) on a flat plate:
At an incidence of 6 degrees and a Mach number of 7.2
