An automobile weighing 1.13 x 104 N has weight equally distributed over its wheels. The weight of the car causes each tire to be slightly flattened on the bottom so that there is a surface area in contact with the road. The gauge pressure of the air in the tire is 1.81 x 105 Pa (26.245 lb/in2). Find the area of contact, assuming that the only forces on the section of tire in contact with the road are the air pressure and the normal force exerted by the surface of the road.

An automobile weighing 1.19 x 104 N has weight equally distributed over its wheels. The weight of the car causes each tire to be slightly flattened on the bottom so that there is a surface area in contact with the road. The gauge pressure of the air in the tire is 1.90 x 105 Pa (27.55 lb/in2). Find the area of contact, assuming that the only forces on the section of tire in contact with the road are the air pressure and the normal force exerted by the surface of the road.

A rectangular solid made of aluminum has a density p= 2.70 g/cm³. The dimensions of the solid are shown below. The solid is placed on top of a truncated cone whose circular ends have the dimensions shown. The bottom of the rectangular solid down on the top surface of the cone. Find the pressure (in N/m²)between those two surfaces. (Ignore air pressure.) (1 kg = 1000 g, 1 m 100 cm) presses 10.0 cm 8.00 cm 15.0 cm r= 2.00 cm R = 6.00 cm

It is a fact that blood flows more rapidly in the aorta than in the capillaries.  The cross sectional area of the aorta must be ___________ the total cross sectional area of the capillaries.   less than     equal to     greater than Consider an incompressible liquid flowing in a pipe of constant diameter.   ΔP is the pressure difference between the 2 ends of the pipe.  Choose the correct statement regarding the volumetric flow.  It will decrease with increased ΔP, and increase with greater pipe radius.     It will increase with increased ΔP, and increase with greater length of the pipe.     it will decrease with greater length of the pipe, and increase with greater pipe radius.     it will decrease with increased viscosity of the liquid, and decrease with greater pipe radius.
