4. The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the
tire. When the air temperature is 25 °C, the pressure gage reads 210 KPa. If the
volume in the tire is 0.025 m³, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air
temperature in the tire rises to 50 °C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be
bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the
atmospheric pressure is 100 KPa.
