The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire.When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 metre cube, determine the pressure rise inthe tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50°C. Also determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100kPa. The gas constant of air is R=0.287kPa.metre cube/kg.K.
