You inflate the tires of your car to a gauge pressure of 36.0 lb/in². If your car has a mass of 1375 kg and is supported equally by its four tires, determine the following. (a) Contact area between each tire and the road 0.013 x Can you write an expression for the pressure in terms of the force and area? Which pressure are we interested in, gauge, atmospheric or absolute? Notice that the mass rather than weight is given for the car. m² (b) Will the contact area increase, decrease, or stay the same when the gauge pressure is decreased? Increase decrease stay the same (c) Gauge pressure required to give each tire a contact area of 117 cm² 31.01 X See if you can develop an expression for the gauge pressure of a tire in terms of the mass of the car and the contact area of each tire. lb/in²
