Question:
While on the ground, 10% of the aircraft’s weight (36,970 lb) is on the nose gear tires. Estimate the tire gage and absolute pressure in of one nose gear tire in Pascals. (Approximate the necessary tire dimensions from the drawing and assume standard sea-level conditions. Remember that the force that the ground exerts on the tire is a reaction to the force that the aircraft exerts on the tire. What would the pressure be at Max Takeoff Weight? (to calculate the pressure of the airplane, assume that the area of contact with the runway is one square foot.)
