Consider a supersonic missile flying at Mach 2.5 at an altitude of 10 km. Assume the angle of the shock wave from the nose is approximated by the Mach angle (this is a very weak shock). How far behind the nose of the vehicle will the shock wave impinge upon the ground? (Ignore the fact that the speed of sound, and hence the Mach angle, changes with altitude.)
