    Point Speed
AI Thread Summary
To determine the speed at a point on the wing where the pressure is 9 psi, the Bernoulli equation is relevant. The true airspeed of the airplane is 190 mph at 10,000 feet in standard atmospheric conditions. The challenge lies in converting units and applying the correct equations to relate pressure and speed. Clarification on the appropriate format for posting in the homework section was also requested. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

An airplane has a true airspeed of 190mph. at10,000ft, standard atmosphere. What is the speed at a point on the wing where the pressure is 9 psic?

I'm stuck on this question.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I know it's something about the Bernoulli. But I'm confused about the units and which equation I should use.
 
I really need help on this. Help me guys!
 
Try posting it in the homework section and using the proper format.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
