It’s a hot summer day. Darius is babysitting and has promised his sweet little sister that he will fill her wading pool. He plans to soak his feet in the water as he sips a cool soda and watch little sister as she plays in the water. Sounds great, right? All he needs to do is get the pool filled. Unfortunately, little sister is impatient and starting to whine. Darius has a hose ready in the backyard to fill the pool, but he decides he will also drag the hose from the front-yard, so the two hoses can work together to fill the pool faster. Nobody wants their darling little sister to be unhappy! Darius knows from experience that if he only uses one hose at a time, the front-yard hose takes 10 minutes longer to the fill the pool than the back-yard hose. With the two hoses working together, the pool is filled in 12 minutes. Once Darius is comfortable with his toes dangling in the water, he starts to wonder how long it would have taken to fill the pool if he had only used one of the hoses.

Darius thinks, “Hmmm. Usually when I think about how long it takes to do something I have to think about the rate it is going.”

Airplane speeds are measured in three different ways: (1) indicated speed, (2) true speed, and (3) ground speed. the indicated airspeed is the airspeed given by an instrument called an airspeed indicator. a plane’s indicated airspeed is different from its true airspeed because the indicator is affected by temperature changes and different altitudes of air pressure. the true airspeed is the speed of the airplane relative to the wind. ground speed is the speed of the airplane relative to the ground. for example, a plane flying at a true airspeed of 150 knots into a headwind of 25 knots will have a ground speed of 125 knots. the problems below refer to static and dynamic pressure. static pressure is used when a body is in motion or at rest at a constant speed and direction. dynamic pressure is used when a body in motion changes speed or direction or both. a gauge compares these pressures, giving pilots an indicated airspeed. in problem #s 1 and 2, use the following information. the indicated airspeed s (in knots) of an airplane is given by an airspeed indicator that measures the difference p (in inches of mercury) between the static and dynamic pressures. the relationship between s and p can be modeled by s=136.4p√+4.5. 1. find the differential pressure when the indicated airspeed is 157 knots. 2. find the change in the differential pressure of an airplane that was traveling at 218 knots and slowed down to195 knots. in problem #s 3 and 4, use the following information. the true airspeed t (in knots) of an airplane can be modeled by t=(1+a50,000) ⋅ s, where a is the altitude (in feet) and s is the indicated airspeed (in knots). 3. write the equation for true airspeed t in terms of altitude and differential pressure p. 4. a plane is flying with a true airspeed of 280 knots at an altitude of 20,000 feet. estimate the differential pressure. explain why you think your estimate is correct.
