relativity - Fastest Speed of Sound


Obviously, sound (like every other causal phenomena) may not travel faster than the speed of light.

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
