Question: A DC - 1 0 is cruising at its assigned altitude at a Mach number of 0 . 8 5 . The outside air temperature

A DC-10 is cruising at its assigned altitude at a Mach number of 0.85. The outside air temperature is 232 K . At a given point on the upper surface of the wing the pressure is measured at \(20,100\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\). The temperature at this point is 221 K . How much lift per square meter (referred to ambient pressure) is provided by the upper surface at this point? What is the assigned pressure altitude? What is the density altitude? What is the true speed of the airplane? (Use SI units, but also give the upper surface lift in \(\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{ft}^{2}\).)
