The air pressure inside a car tire is

3.00 atm, and it creates 41,500 N

of force pushing out on the tire.

What is the surface area of the

inside of the tire?

Answer:

0.137m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure = Force/Area

Given

Force = 41,500N

Pressure = 3.00atm

since 1atm = 101325.00 N/m²

3atm = 3(101325.00)

3atm = 303,975N/m²

Pressure = 303,975N/m²

Get the area

Area = Force/Pressure

Area = 41500/303,975

Area = 0.137m²'

Hence the surface area of the inside of the tire is 0.137m²
