Question
The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of 200 $\mathrm{kPa}$ . Each tire has an area of 0.0240 $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ in contact with the ground. Determine the weight of the automobile.
Step 1
0240 \, \mathrm{m}^{2}$ and the gauge pressure is $p = 200 \, \mathrm{kPa} = 2 \times 10^{5} \, \mathrm{Pa}$. Show more…

The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of 210 kPa. Each tire has an area of 0.0248 m2 in contact with the ground. Determine the weight of the automobile.
The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of $2.0 \times 10^{5}$ Pa. Each tire has an area of 0.024 $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ in contact with the ground. Determine the weight of the automobile.
The gauge pressure in each of the four tires of an automobile is 240 kPa. If each tire has a "footprint" of 190 cm$^2$ (area touching the ground), estimate the mass of the car.
