AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the change in overpressure of a bicycle tire as the temperature increases from 22°C to 38°C, starting with an initial overpressure of 4.0 atm. It emphasizes the need to apply the ideal gas law, specifically the relationship between pressure and temperature, assuming constant volume and atmospheric pressure. Participants are encouraged to provide insights on how to approach the problem mathematically. The importance of understanding gas behavior under varying temperatures is highlighted. This analysis is crucial for accurately predicting tire pressure changes throughout the day.

Homework Statement



When a bicycle tire is filled early in the morning at 22 degrees C, the overpressure is 4.0 atm. What is the overpressure later in the day, when the temperature is 38 degrees C? Assume that the atmospheric pressure os 1.0 atm is constant.

You have to tell us what you know about the relationship between pressure and temperature for a gas. Assume the gas is ideal and that the volume does not change.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
