Pascals Law Problem
You have a vehicle with four tires of 20 cm wide with 2 atm air pressure. Calculate
contact area (cm^2) of each tire on the road. The gross vehicle weight is 1 tonne.
P=F/A
P=ρgh
F=mg=1x10^6x9.8=9.8x10^6
A=F/P
therefore, A=(9.8x10^6)/200000=49m^2
I am not sure if I am right so far,
can u assist me if I am incorreect
cheers
