Answer:
Aircraft is losing altitude
Explanation:
[tex]\rho[/tex] = Density of air
P = Pressure
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = Altitude
1 denotes initial
2 denotes final
From Bernoulli's theorem we have
[tex]P_1+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v^2+\rho gh_1=P_2+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v^2+\rho gh_2[/tex]
Velocity v is constant
[tex]P_1+\rho gh_1=P_2+\rho gh_2\\\Rightarrow P_1-P_2=\rho gh_2-\rho gh_1[/tex]
From the question
[tex]P_2>P_1[/tex]
so in the equation
[tex]h_1>h_2[/tex]
So, the aircraft is losing altitude
