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?

(Unit = m^2)

Answer:


A=0.136\ m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The air pressure inside a car tire is 3 atm = 303975 Pa

The force of 41,500 N of force pushing out on the tire.

We need to find the surface area of the inside of the tire. The pressure acting on an object is given by :


P=(F)/(A)\\\\A=(F)/(P)\\\\A=(41500)/(303975)\\\\A=0.136\ m^2

So, the surface area of the inside of the tire is
0.136\ m^2.
