The landing speed of a winged aircraft such as the Space Shuttle is dependent on the air

Question:

The landing speed of a winged aircraft such as the Space Shuttle is dependent on the air density. By what percent must the landing speed be increased on a day when the temperature is \(110^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) compared to a day when it is \(50^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) ? Assume that the atmospheric pressure remains constant.
