An aircraft flying faster than the speed of sound produces sound waves that pile up behind the aircraft in the form of a cone. The cone of a level flying aircraft intersects the ground in the form of a hyperbola and along this curve, there is a sonic boom. It was shown that: speed of sound sin 2 speed of aircraft where 0 is the cone angle. speed of aircraft The ratio: M = speed of sound is the Mach number. Earth So sin- 2 M Нурerbola A Mach number of 2.3 indicates an aircraft moving at 2.3 times the speed of sound. Find the cone angle 0 if M =
