A model airplane is placed in a wind tunnel and a Pitot

 

A model airplane is placed in a wind tunnel and a Pitot tube is connected to the wind tunnel to measure the freestream velocity (i.e., the wind velocity before interacting with the aircraft). The Pitot tube contains hydraulic fluid with a density of 800 kg/m. The temperature of the dry air in the wind tunnel is 5 Celsius. Determine the wind velocity given H, = 28 cm and H = 79 cm. The pitot tube is not closed at either end, even though location 3 looks like a plug. V= (1) H lAir 13) number (rtol=0.01, atol=1e-08) (2) m/s
