To find the speed of sound at the altitude of the FA-18 when it was traveling at 1350 km/h and producing a shock wave with an angle of 60 degrees, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the Speed of the Airplane to m/s**: The speed of the airplane is given as 1350 km/h. To convert this to meters per second (m/s), we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ km/h} = \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{3600 \text{ s}} \approx 0.27778 \text{ m/s} ...
