(contact area)xpressurex4 = weight = M g
Solve for the area. For pressure, use that gauge pressure that you have been given.
The pressure in each of your car tires is 2.00 105 Pa. The mass of your car is 1610 kg. Assuming that each of your tires bears one-quarter of the total load, what is the contact area of each tire with the road?
