Answer» RIGHT option is (a) 1.893 The explanation is: The answer is 0.458. Given M=1. We know γ of AIR is 1.4. From \(\FRAC{p_1}{p_2}=\Big\{1+\frac{\GAMMA-1}{2}(M)^2\Big\}^\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1}\) On substituting the values \(\frac{p_1}{p_2}=\Big\{1+\frac{1.4-1}{2} 1^2\Big\}^\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}\) \(\frac{p_1}{p_2}\)=1.893. |
