An automobile tire has a volume of 0.0141 m^3 on a cold day when the temperature of the air in the tire is 5.3°C and atmospheric pressure is 1.02 atm. Under these conditions, the gauge pressure is measured to be 1.7 atm (about 25 lb/in^2). After the car is driven on the highway for 30 min, the temperature of the air in the tires has risen to 45°C and the volume has risen to 0.0152 m^3. What then is the gauge pressure?

An automobile tire has a volume of 0.0150 m^3 on a cold day when the temperature of the air in the tire is 5.0°C and atmospheric pressure is 1.02 atm. Under these conditions, the gauge pressure is measured to be 1.70 atm (about 25 lb/in^2). After the car is driven on the highway for 30 min, the temperature of the air in the tires has risen to 45.0°C and the volume has risen to 0.0159 m^3. What then is the gauge pressure?

A car tire gauge reads the tire pressure as 32.4 psi on a cold morning (T = -10.4 ºC). After driving around for some time, the tire heats up to 35.4 ºC. What would the gauge pressure read at this temperature?
