Question 2 (10 Points): A high-speed, subsonic Boeing 777 airliner is flying at an altitude of 12 km. A Pitot tube on the vertical tail measures a pressure of 2.96x10 N/m? At what Mach number is the airplane flying? A different airplane is flying at an altitude of 10 km with a velocity of 596 m/s. The outside air temperature is 220 K. Briefly comment on how this question is different than Question number 2 and discuss how you would determine what is the pressure measured by a Pitot tube mounted on the nose of the airplane (you don't have to solve). 5
