The shock-wave cone created by a space shuttle at one
Chapter 16, Problem 16.58(choose chapter or problem)
The shock-wave cone created by a space shuttle at one instant during its reentry into the atmosphere makes an angle of 58.0 with its direction of motion. The speed of sound at this altitude is 331 m>s. (a) What is the Mach number of the shuttle at this instant, and (b) how fast (in m>s and in mi>h) is it traveling relative to the atmosphere? (c) What would be its Mach number and the angle of its shock-wave cone if it flew at the same speed but at low altitude where the speed of sound is 344 m>s?
