An instrument used to measure the airspeed on many early low-speed airplanes, principally during 1919 to 1930, was the venturi tube. this simple device is a convergent–divergent duct. (the front section’s cross-sectional area a decreases in the fl ow direction, and the back section’s cross-sectional area increases in the fl ow direction. somewhere between the inlet and exit of the duct, there is a minimum area called the throat .) see fi gure below. let a 1 and a 2 denote the inlet and throat areas, respectively. let p 1 and p 2 be the pressures at the inlet and throat, respectively. the venturi tube is mounted at a specifi c location on the airplane (generally on the wing or near the front of the fuselage) where the inlet velocity v 1 is essentially the same as the free-stream velocity—that is, the velocity of the airplane through the air. with a knowledge of the area ratio a 2 / a 1 (a fi xed design feature) and a measurement of the pressure difference p 1 − p 2 , we can determine the airplane’s velocity. for example, assume aa 21 a 1 4/ a a a = and p 1 − p 2 = 80 lb/ft 2 . if the airplane is fl ying at standard sea level, what is its velocity?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

An important dimensionless parameter concerned with very high-speed flow is the mach number, defined as v/c, where v is the speed of the object such as an airplane or projectile, and c is the speed of sound in the fluid surrounding the object. for a projectile traveling at 1170 mph through air at 50 ˚f and standard atmospheric pressure, what is the value of the mach number?
