Question:

A Pitot-static tube is used to measure the airspeed of an airplane. The Pitot tube is connected to a pressure-sensing device calibrated to indicate the correct airspeed when the temperature is 17°C and the pressure is 101 kPa. The airplane flies at an altitude of 3000 m, where the pressure and temperature are 70 kPa and –6.3°C. The indicated airspeed is 56 m/s. What is the true airspeed?
