Special Problem SP1.4
A car tire having a volume of 3 ft contains air at a gage pressure of 35 psig and a temperature of 70F.
Determine the density of the air and the weight of the air contained in the tire. In racing applications
average tire temperatures often exceed 200F. Assuming that the air in the tire reaches this average
temperature, calculate the tires gage pressure under this condition.

Example 2.5 (page 80) calculated the force on plate AB and its line of action, using the moment-of-
inertia approach. Some teachers say that it is more instructive to calculate these by direct integration of
the pressure forces. Using the figures below, (a) find an expression for the pressure variationp(;) along
the plate; (b) integrate this expression to find the total force F; (c) integrate the moments about point A
to fmd the position of the center of pressure.
