A supersonic jet is flying overhead at a constant altitude of 4.97 km and a speed of 1.32 times the speed of sound. If the temperature of the air is constant at 23.2 °C, how long after the jet has passed exactly overhead will the sonic boom be heard?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

 

Given Values,

 

Altitude(h)=4.97 Km =4970 m

Jet speed(v)=1.32×340 m/s (since the speed of the sound=340 m/s)
