Urgent Aero question help!

I can't seem to do this question without the static pressure given.
Can someone show me the workings and how it is done?

Rules is rules, you've got to show your attempt. What have you tried. List your knowns, your equations, etc. Then we can help fill in the missing pieces.
 


formula i am thinking of using is True air speed, V^2= (2a^2)/(1.4-1) x [(total pressure/ static pressure)^((1.1-1)/1.4) -1]

but since only total pressure of 84.2 KPa is given, i cannot get the true air speed without static pressure. and other formulas for equivalent airspeed and calibrated airspeed also needs static pressure to calculate
 


You know the pressure altitude, though, no? That number comes from an existing equation.
 


erm, is there a formula that links the pressure altitude to static pressure? (sorry if i sound dumb >_<)
 


Check this link out

(Oops, looks like your equation is the same anyway, either way, it's a good link).

As far as the static pressure goes, here's a good estimate: Engineering Toolbox
 


will do, thanks a lot for your help
