the pressure in an automobile tire is directly proportional to its absolute temperature if the pressure is 32lbs per square inch when the temperature is 293°K what will the pressure be if the temperature is rises to 326°K
------------------
P = kT -- k is a constant
32 = k*293
k = 32/293
----
P at 326K = 326*32/293 psi
