A thin airfoil is mounted in a low-speed, subsonic wind tunnel, in which the Mach number is 0.1. At a point on the airfoil, the pressure coefficient is measured to be −1.2. If the flow velocity is increased such that the free-stream Mach number is 0.6, the pressure coefficient at the same point on the airfoil will approximately be:
