4) The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire.
When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of
the tire is 0.025 m3 , determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in
the tire rises to 50°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore
pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure is
100 kPa.

Therefore, the amount of air to be bled off from the tire to restore its original
pressure is 0.0070 kg.
