an automobile engine operates an ideal otto cycle. Bore diameter of 10 cm and displacement volume of 1925 cm3 and stroke of 24.5 cm

mass of air per cylinder is 0.0026 kg with a temperature and pressure of intake air of 25 degrees celsius and 101 kPa.

Is this enough to find Volume 1, volume 2 , and or clearance?

if so how?

Im not asking for a solution , maybe just formulas or steps on solving it.

Welcome to Physics Forums.

If you look up the density of air at the stated temperature and pressure, you should be able to calculate the volume.

The 1925 cm3 refers to the change in volume during the cycle.
