A bicycle tire is filled with air to a pressure of 100. psi at a temperature of 19C. Riding the bike on asphalt on a hot day increases the temperature of the tire to 58?C. The volume of the tire increases by 4.0%. What is the new pressure in the bicycle tire?

Considering the direct relationship between pressure and temperature, the new pressure in the bicycle tire would be 63.01 psi

Gas law

The general gas laws is given by:

  P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where P1 = initial pressure V1 = initial volume T1 = initial temperature, P2 = final pressure, V2 = final volume, and T2 = final temperature.

In this case, P1 = 100 psi, V1 = 1, T1 = 19+273 = 292, P2 = ?, V2 = 1.4, T2 = 58+273 = 331

P2 = P1V1T2/T1V2

        = 100x1x292/331x1.4

                   = 63.01 psi
