An aircraft is travelling at Mach 0.83 in air at 100C. Calculate an aircraft speed in kilometres per hour.
Added by Jason K.
Step 1
6T, where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius. Given T = 100°C, V = 331 + 0.6(100) V = 331 + 60 V = 391 m/s Step 2: Calculate the speed of the aircraft using the Mach number formula, M = V_object / V_sound. Given Mach number, M = 0.83 and V_sound = 391 Show more…
