(N/A) When a vehicle moves for a long period of time,the tyre becomes warm due to friction between the tyre and the road surface.
As a result,the temperature of the air trapped inside the tyre increases.
Since the volume of the tyre remains approximately constant,according to Gay-Lussac's Law ($P \propto T$ at constant volume),an increase in temperature leads to a proportional increase in the pressure of the air inside the tyre.

An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Assuming the vessel has thin walls and is pressurized to its bursting point,the amount of gas the vessel can contain,$n$ (in moles),depends only on $V_m$ $(m^3)$,the temperature $T$ $(K)$,the ideal gas constant $R$ $(J/(K \cdot mol))$,and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma$ $(N/m^2)$. Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters?
