Which of the following statements about pitot-static systems is FALSE? a). A pitot probe measures the Total Pressure of the freestream. b). A static port measures the Pressure of the freestream air. c). A pitot-static system measures the Dynamic Pressure using the formula Dynamic Pressure = Total minus Static. d). Dynamic Pressure is equal to the Static Pressure at a stagnation point

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Pitot tube:

  Pitot tube is a device which is used to measure the velocity of flow by measuring pressure difference between the points.

As we know that stagnation pressure is the summation of dynamic and static pressure.

Stagnation pressure = Static pressure + Dynamic pressure

So

Dynamic pressure  = Stagnation pressure -  Static pressure

We know that dynamic pressure

[tex]P_{dynamic}=\dfrac{\rho V^2}{2}[/tex]

On the other hand Pitot tube measure the dynamic pressure.

So option C is correct.

i dont know the answer  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
