A bicycle tire with a volume of 0.00212 m3is filled to its recommended absolute pressure of 495 kPa on a coldwinter day when the tire’s temperature is −15 °C. The cyclist thenbrings his bicycle into a hot laundry room at 32 °C. (a) If the tirewarms up while its volume remains constant, will the pressureincrease be greater than, less than, or equal to the manufacturer’sstated 10% overpressure limit? (b) Find the absolute pressure inthe tire when it warms to 32 °C at constant volume.
