A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the speed of an aircraft flying at 3000 m. If the differential pressure reading is 3100 N/m2, determine the speed of the aircraft in m/s. The density of air at an altitude of 3000 m is 0.909 kg/m3. The speed of the aircraft is km/h.

Answer:

82.59 m/s or 297.324 km/h

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

V = √[2(P'/ρ)].................. Equation 1 ( From

Where V = Speed of the aircraft, Differential Pressure of the air craft, ρ = Density of air at an altitude of 3000 m.

Given: P' = 3100 N/m², ρ = 0.909 kg/m³

Substitute into equation 1

V = √[2(3100/0.909)]

V = √(2×3410.34)

V = √(6820.68)

V = 82.59 m/s

V = 297.324 km/h

Hence the speed of the aircraft is  82.59 m/s or 297.324 km/h
