Find the flow speed of air when the dynamic pressure is 70516 N/m^2 and density is 1.23kg/m^3.(a) 338.62 m/s(b) 340 m/s(c) 313.5 m/s(d) 321.5 m/sThis question was posed to me at a job interview.This intriguing question comes from Air Data Computers in portion Atmosphere and Air Data Measurement of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) 338.62 m/s

For explanation I WOULD say: The answer is 338.62 m/s. GIVEN dynamic pressure=70516 N/m^2 and density is 1.23kg/m^3. From the formula q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)ρV^2, substitute the given values.

On solving we GET 70516=\(\frac{1}{2}\)*1.23*V^2

V=338.62 m/s.

Dynamic pressure is the difference between stagnation pressure and static pressure.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in quiz.My question is taken from Air Data Computers in portion Atmosphere and Air Data Measurement of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) True

Explanation: DYNAMIC pressure is the difference between stagnation pressure and static pressure. In simpler way it is kinetic energy per unit volume of a FLUID particle. It is REPRESENTED by ‘q’. The formula for dynamic pressure is given by q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γPM^2 where q=dynamic pressure, P is pressure of the fluid, M is mach NUMBER of that medium and γ is the ratio of SPECIFIC heat at constant pressure to that of specific heat at constant volume.

Air data computer system measures airspeed, mach number, temperature and height.(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question in an internship interview.The origin of the question is Air Data Computers topic in portion Atmosphere and Air Data Measurement of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) True

To explain I would say: Air data COMPUTER SYSTEM MEASURES airspeed, mach number, temperature and height. Air data computer is an important avionic component present in an aircraft that measures airspeed, mach number, temperature and height with the help of pitot-static tube.

107.

Which of the following is the correct formula for dynamic pressure?(a) q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γPM^2(b) q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γρM^2(c) q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γPV^2(d) q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γρV^2This question was posed to me during an interview.This interesting question is from Air Data Computers in division Atmosphere and Air Data Measurement of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (a) q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γPM^2

The best explanation: The correct formula for DYNAMIC pressure is q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γPM^2 where q=dynamic pressure, P is pressure of the fluid, M is MACH number of that medium and γ is the ratio of specific heat at CONSTANT pressure to that of specific heat at constant volume.

108.

Dynamic pressure is directly proportional to the flow speed.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during an internship interview.Origin of the question is Air Data Computers in section Atmosphere and Air Data Measurement of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

Right answer is (a) True

Easiest EXPLANATION: DYNAMIC pressure is directly proportional to the flow speed. The formula for dynamic pressure is q=\(\frac{1}{2}\)γPM^2 where q=dynamic pressure, P is pressure of the fluid, M is mach number of that medium and γ is the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to that of specific heat at constant VOLUME.
