You measure the pressure of the four tires of your car each to be 35.0 pounds per square inch (psi). You then roll your car forward so that each tire is upon a sheet of paper. You outline the surface area of contact between each tire and the paper, which you later measure to be 32.0 square inches. What is the weight of your car

Respuesta :

Answer:

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²

Explanation:

We are told the pressure of the four tires of your car is; P = 35.0 psi

Also, the surface area of contact is; A = 32 in²

Thus;

Weight of tires = Pressure × Area

W_tires = 35 × 32

Weight_tires = 1120lb.

To get the weight of the car, we will multiply the tire weight by acceleration due to gravity.

It's value in ft/s² is g = 32.174 ft/s²

Thus;

Weight of car = 1120 × 32.174

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²
