Answer:
<em>The minimum pressure car tire pressure is 300,000 Pa</em>
Explanation:
<u>Pressure</u>
It's a measure of the force exerted by an object per unit surface:
Where F is the force applied on a surface area A.
We are given the total weight of a car with passengers as Ft=30,000 N and we also know the area of contact of each tire with the ground as .
The minimum pressure each tire can have is when the total weight is evenly distributed in all four tires, thus F=Ft/4=7,500 N.
Calculating the pressure:
P=300,000 Pa
The minimum pressure car tire pressure is 300,000 Pa
