8. A tourist rents a jeep in Hilo where the temperature is 20 °C and the absolute
atmospheric pressure is 1.01 x 10° Pa. She then drives up to the peak of Mauna Kea
where the temperature falls to -5 °C. If the volume of the air in the tires does not
change, what is the absolute pressure of the tires at the top of the mountain?
(Hint: Must use absolute temperatures to solve problem TK = TCelsius + 273.)
