Answer:

a) - 72.5°c

b) pressure = 3625.13 Pa

c) density =  0.063 kg/m^3

d) it is a subsonic aircraft

Explanation:

a) Determine Temperature

Temperature at 19.5 km ( 19500 m )

T = -131 + ( 0.003 * altitude in meters )

  =  -131 + ( 0.003 * 19500 ) = - 72.5°c

b) Determine pressure and density at 19.5 km altitude

Given :

Po (atmospheric pressure at sea level )  = 101kpa

R ( gas constant of air ) = 0.287 KJ/Kgk

T = -72.5°c ≈ 200.5 k

pressure = 3625.13 Pa

hence density = 0.063 kg/m^3

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

C) determine if the aircraft is subsonic or super sonic

Velocity ( v ) = [tex]\sqrt{CRT}[/tex]  =  [tex]\sqrt{1.4*287*200.5 }[/tex] = 283.8 m/s

hence it is a subsonic aircraft
