Mechanical Engineering

A bicycle rider is interested in the effects of temperature onair density. A change in temperature will also affect the tirepressure.

a) Write a computer program that calculates air density atatmospheric pressure for temperatures from -10?C to 50?C.

b) Assume that a bicycle tire is inflated to an absolutepressure of 450 kPa at 20?C. Assume also that the volume of thetire does not change with temperature. Write a program to show howthe tire pressure changes with the temperature in the same range,-10?C to 50?C.

Prepare a table or graph or both.
