The Mach Number M of an Airplane Is the Ratio $$\sin ( \theta / 5 ) = 1 / M$$

question 6

Multiple Choice

The mach number M of an airplane is the ratio of its speed to the speed of sound.When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound,the sound waves form a cone behind the airplane (see figure) .The mach number is related to the apex angle θ of the cone by $$\sin ( \theta / 5 ) = 1 / M$$ .​ ​ Rewrite the equation in terms of θ.
​

• A)​ \(\theta = 5 \sin \left( \frac { 1 } { M } \right)\)
• B)​ \(\theta = \sin \left( \frac { 1 } { M } \right)\)
• C)​ \(\theta = \sin ^ { - 1 } \left( \frac { 1 } { M } \right)\)
• D)​ \(\theta = 5 \sin ^ { - 1 } \left( \frac { 5 } { M } \right)\)
• E) \(\theta = 5 \sin ^ { - 1 } \left( \frac { 1 } { M } \right)\)
