a motorcycle weighs 4500 N. if the pressure of the tyres on the road is 1000000 Pa , what is the area of each tyre in contact with the road. (remember the vehicle has two tyre )

Answer»

Hi!

4500N divided on TWO tyres is 2250N tyres each.

No, let's first TAKE the whole thing ya?

Now, P = F/A
100000 = 4500/A
A = F/P

A = 4500/ 1000000
= 45/10000
= 4.5 X 10-³ (it is actually power of minus three)

4.5 x 10-³m² total area in CONTACT
or 0.0045m²

each tyre = 0.0045/2
= 0.00225m² surface area of each tyre is in contact with the street.

Hope you found my answer useful .
