Tyre of a bicycle has volume 2×10-3 m3. Initially the tube is filled 75% of its volume by air at atmospheric pressure 105 N m-2. When a rider is on the bicycle, the area of contact of tyre with road is 24×10-4 m2. The mass of rider with bicycle is 120 kg. If a pump delivers a volume 500 cm3 of air in each stroke then the number of strokes required to inflate the tyre is g=10 m s-2

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 21

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Initial volume, V0=75100×2×10-3 m3=1.5×10-3 m3 and net pressure on tyre is, P=mgA+P0=120×1024×10-4+105=6×105 N m-2 Using the ideal gas equation, PV=nRT⇒n=PVRT=6×105×2×10-3RT...1 again using the ideal…
