Question 144349:  The Mach number, M, is the ration of the speed of an object, v, traveling through a fluid medium to the velocity of sound Vs, through that medium.  Hence, log(M) = 
 
a.  log(v) - log(Vs) 
b.  log(v-Vs) 
c.  log(v) + log(Vs) 
d.  log(v) log(Vs)

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! The Mach number, M, is the ratio of the speed of an object, v, traveling through a fluid medium to the velocity of sound Vs, through that medium. Hence, log(M) =  
a. log(v) - log(Vs) 
b. log(v-Vs) 
c. log(v) + log(Vs) 
d. log(v) log(Vs)
 
------------------ 
logM = log[v/vs] 
= logv - logvs 
-------- 
Ans: a
