Question:

48. ••• A supersonic jet flies directly overhead relative to an observer, at an altitude of 2.0 km (▼ Figure 14.18).

When the observer finally hears the first sonic boom, the plane has flown a horizontal distance of 2.5 km beyond him at a constant speed.

(a) What is the angle of the shock wave cone?

(b) At what Mach number is the plane flying? (Assume a value for the speed of sound based on an average constant temperature of 15 °C.)
