The Pitot tube on a supersonic aircraft (see the Video) cruising at an altitude of 25000 ft senses a stagnation pressure of 15.0 psia. If the atmosphere is considered standard, determine (a) the Mach number of the aircraft, (b) the airspeed. A shock wave is present just upstream of the probe impact hole.
