Answer:
The distance at which nose of the vehicle will the shock wave impinge upon the ground is approximately 23km
Explanation:
Let
u be Mach angle
M be Mach Number = 2.5
h be altitude = 10km
d be distance between nose of the vehicle with which the shock wave impinge upon the ground
Using;
Sin u = 1/M
u = arcSin (1/M)
u = arcSin (1/2.5) = 23.58°
Using angle at a point rule = 90°
90 - 23.58 = 66.42°
Tan A = opp/adj
Tan 66.42° = d/10
2.2911 * 10 = d
d = 22.911km ≈ 23km
