Proplem 1.

If an airplane is fl ying at an altitude where the actual pressure and temperature are 4.72 × 10
4 N/m 2 and 255.7 K, respectively, what are the pressure, temperature, and density altitudes?
Proplem 2.

Proplem 3
If 1500 lb m of air is pumped into a previously empty 900 ft 3 storage tank and the air
temperature in the tank is uniformly 70°F, what is the air pressure in the tank in
atmospheres?
Proplem 4
The fl ight test data for a given airplane refer to a level-fl ight maximum-velocity run made
at an altitude that simultaneously corresponded to a pressure altitude of 30,000 ft and density
altitude of 28,500 ft. Calculate the temperature of the air at the altitude at which the airplane
was fl ying for the test.
( Đ.A: 390°R )

Consider an airplane fl ying at an altitude where the pressure and temperature are 530 lb/ft 2
and 390°R, respectively. Calculate the pressure and density altitudes at which the airplane is
fl ying.
