Question

5. Consider a Pitot probe in high-speed flow.
(c) You are flying through air at static p = 0.8 atm [abs]. Your velocimeter broke,
but you are still receiving the following direct stagnation pressure readings (atm
[abs]) from the Pitot probe mounted on your aircraft’s noise:

i) 3.152 ii) 1.357 iii) 38.428 iv) 0.8

Find the freestream Mach number corresponding to each of the pressure readings.

(d) If we are to believe reading (iv), can we step out of the aircraft safely? Why?
