If you know that the dynamic temperature of air is 50 K. Then, its speed is
58. Find the height of a supersonic airplane (v =
670 m-s1, T = - 44 C°) when the time between
seeing above observer and hearing is 8.8 sec.
A jet of air having velocity V₁ and cross-sectional area A₁ strikes an inclined plate as shown
in the figure. Neglect any effects of viscosity.
V₁
(a) Find V₂ and V3 in terms of V₁. Note that the pressure is patm everywhere.
(b) Because viscous effects are negligible, there is no way for the air to exert a force on the
plate in the tangential (z) direction. Using the coordinate system in the figure, find A₂
and A3 in terms of A₁ and 0.
(c) For V₁ = 50 m/s, A₁ = 5 x 10-4 m², and 0 = 60°, find the force required to hold the
plate in place. Neglect the weight of the plate. Recall that pair = 1.225 kg/m³.
