An aircraft is cruising at an altitude of 9 km. The free-stream static pressure and density at this
akitude are 3.08×104N/m2 and 0.467 kg/m2 respectively. A Pitot tube mounted on the wing
senses a pressure of 3.31×104N/m2
Ignoring compressibility effects, the cruising speed of the
aircraft is approximately
A
50 m/s
B
100 m/s
C
150 m/s
D
200 m/s

Correct : b
