The pressure of air in a tire is \(22.5Nm^{-2}\) at 27°C. If the air in the tyre heats up to 47°C, calculate the new pressure of the air, assuming that no air leaks out and that the change in volume of the air can be neglected.

Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2};P_2= \frac{22.5\times320K}{300K}=24Nm^{-2}\)
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2};P_2= \frac{22.5\times320K}{300K}=24Nm^{-2}\)
