The orbital motion of Earth around the Sun leads to an observable parallax effect on the nearest stars. For each star listed, calculate the distance in parsecs before converting that distance to astronomical units. A. Sirius (0.38") B. Alpha Centauri A (0.75") C. Procyon (0.28") D. Wolf 359 (0.42") E. Epsilon Eridani (0.31") D(pc) = 1/parallax(arcsecs), D(a. u.) = D(pc) * 206265 (arcsecs per radian)

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 2.60 ft3 is at 70°f and 21 psig. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 30 psig. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 14.6 psia and the temperature and the volume to remain constant. the gas constant of air is ru = 53.34ft⋅lbflbm⋅r(1 psia144 lbf/ft2) = 0.3704 psia⋅ft3lbm⋅r the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure is lbm
