Local Density And Speed Of An Aircraft

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the local air density and speed of the aircraft using the given pressure difference, local air pressure, and temperature, the relevant equations include Bernoulli's principle and the ideal gas law. The pressure difference of 3300 N/m^2 can be used to derive the velocity of the aircraft, while the local air pressure of 950 kN/m^2 and temperature of 7 degrees Celsius (280K) can help determine the air density. The forum encourages users to show their calculation attempts for more effective assistance. Clear details of the attempted solution are necessary for others to provide targeted help. Engaging with the community can lead to a better understanding of the problem.

Homework Statement


A Pitot is used to measure the air speed of a light aircraft. The pressure difference recorded by the tube in flight was 3300 N/m^2. The local air pressure was 950 kN/m^2 and the temperature was 7 Degrees (280K). Calculate the local air density and the speed of the aircraft.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
