(See Fluids in the News article titled “Bugged and plugged Pitot tubes,” Section 3.5.) An airplane’s Pitot tube (see Video V3.8) used to indicate airspeed is partially plugged by an insect nest so that it measures 60% of the stagnation pressure rather than the actual stagnation pressure. If the airspeed indicator indicates that the plane is flying 150 mph, what is the actual airspeed?
