Question: 3 . 2 . 8 A shock wave is a very thin layer ( thickness = l ) in a highspeed ( supersonic ) gas

3.2.8 A shock wave is a very thin layer (thickness =l) in a highspeed (supersonic) gas flow across which the flow properties (velocity, density, pressure, etc.) change from state (1) to state (2) as shown in Fig. P3.2.8. If V1=550ms,V2=215ms, and l=0.0025mm, estimate the average deceleration of the gas as it flows across the shock wave. How many g's deceleration does this represent?
