Flight Speed given Dynamic Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flight Speed = sqrt((2*Dynamic Pressure)/Ambient Air Density)
V_fs = sqrt((2*q)/ρ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Flight Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Speed is defined as an airspeed sufficient to provide the lift necessary to support an airplane in level flight.
Dynamic Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Dynamic Pressure is simply a convenient name for the quantity which represents the decrease in the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
Ambient Air Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Ambient Air Density is the mass per unit volume of Earth's atmosphere.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dynamic Pressure: 70.5 Pascal --> 70.5 Pascal No Conversion Required
Ambient Air Density: 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
