A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends , but it's been a while since you've checked. You can't find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner's manual and a ruler. Fortunately, you've just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, "I don't know, but I can figure it out." From the owner's manual you find that the car's mass is. It seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. With the ruler you find that the tires are wide and the flattened segment of the tire in contact with the road is long. What answer-in psi-will you give your friend?
