A pitot tube on a high-altitude aircraft measures a pressure difference of 200 Pa based on the change in height of the fluid inside the device's manometer. What is the aircraft's airspeed in m/s if the density of the air is 0.036 kg/mĀ³?

A pitot tube (see Problem 62$)$ on a high-altitude aircraft measures a differential pressure of 180 $\mathrm{Pa}$ . What is the aircraft's airspeed if the density of the air is 0.031 $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} ?$
The pitot tube is commonly used to measure the air speed of an aircraft. Air flows into a small opening at the end of a tube that is closed at the other end, bringing the air to rest and allowing the measurement of the pressure difference between air at rest inside the tube and air moving rapidly just outside the tube. If the high-altitude air density is 0.364 kg/m' $^{3}$ , and the pressure difference between inside and outside the tube is 9460 $\mathrm{Pa}$ , what is the airplane's speed relative to the air?
High-Altitude Aircraft A pitot tube (see Problem 57) on a high-altitude aircraft measures a differential pressure of $180 \mathrm{~Pa}$. What is the airspeed if the density of the air is $0.031 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ ?
