Calculate the total or stagnation pressure at the nose of an aircraft, which is in steady level flight at sea level. The standard temperature and pressure at sea level is 581.69°R and 2116.2 lb/ft2. The specific heat ratio γ and the gas constant for air are 1.4 and 1716 ft-lb/slug-R, respectively. The airspeed of the aircraft is 300 mph.
