You look directly overhead and see a plane exactly 1.5 km a
sw cs:4in:t2t t zl4zam7wu1 1bove the ground flying faster than the speed of sound. By the time you hear the sonic boom, the plan
wtnmaz1 47c i:usw12t:sl tz4e has traveled a horizontal distance of 2.0 km. See Fig. 12–34. Determine
(a) the angle of the shock cone, $\theta$
