The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of 88500 Pa. Each tire has an area of 0.0276 m2 in contact with the ground.
Determine the weight of the automobile.
Answer in units of N.
WEight=Numbertires*pressure*area, right?
To determine the weight of the automobile, we need to use the formula:
Weight = pressure × area
Given:
Gauge pressure = 88500 Pa
Area = 0.0276 m^2
Substituting these values into the formula, we can calculate the weight:
Weight = 88500 Pa × 0.0276 m^2
Calculating this, we get:
Weight = 2436 N
Therefore, the weight of the automobile is 2436 N.
