Question
A pitot tube (the figure) is used to determine the airspeed of an airplane. It consists of an outer tube with a number of small holes B (four are shown) that allow air into the tube; that tube is connected to one arm of a U-tube. The other arm of the U-tube is connected to hole A at the front end of the device, which points in the direction the plane is headed. At A the air becomes stagnant so that và = 0. At B, however, the speed of the air presumably equals the airspeed B of the plane. A pitot tube on a high-altitude aircraft measures a differential pressure of 240 Pa. What is the aircraft's airspeed if the density of the air is 0.0330 kg/m³? Number Pair- Hole A B B Units Liquid Air h
