A car tyre has a volume of 10 litre when inflated. The tyre is inflated to a pressure of 3 atm at

17^{ }\text{C}

with air. Due to driving the temperature of tyre increases to

47^{ }\text{C}

. (a) What would be the pressure at this temperature? (b) How many litre of air measured at

47^{ }\text{C}

and pressure of 1 atm should be let out to restore the tyre to 3 atm at

47^{ }\text{C}
