a truck weighs 7280 pounds. if the pressure exerted by its tires on the ground is 87.5 pounds per square centimeter, what is the area of one tire that is in contact with the road

83.2 cm²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) = 7280 pounds.

Pressure exerted (P) = 87.5 pounds per square centimeter

Area (A) =.?

The area of one tire that is in contact with the road can be obtained as shown below:

Pressure = Force /Area

87.5 = 7280 /Area

Cross multiply

87. 5 × Area = 7280

Divide both side by 87.5

Area = 7280 / 87.5

Area = 83.2 cm²

Thus, the area of one tire that is in contact with the road is 83.2 cm²

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
