Jenna's new dodge ram 2500's tires are at 300 kpa and 30 l of air, but after going to the service station the tires have 42l of air. what is the new tire pressure? kpa

New tire pressure = 214.286 kPa

According to Boyle's Law the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure at constant temperature.

P α V, and PV = Constant

Therefore;

P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 is the initial pressure, V1 is the initial volume , P2 is the new pressure and V2 is the new volume.

P2 = P1V1/V2

     = (300 kPa × 30 L)/ 42 L

      =  214.286 kPa

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
