Question

- I think this problem has to do something with the pressure equation but I'm not sure how you can apply that along with other physics principals.

So basically, this mechanic has a car and wants too know how much it weighs. He only has a hammer, screwdriver, pressure gauge, flares (like flare gun), jacks (like those levers to raise the level of the car to get underneath) , and tape measure. He can use some or all of the tools he has, but nothing else. Explain in detail how he found the weight of the car with these tools with physics principals.

Explanation / Answer

Measure the air pressure of a tire. Use your screwdriver to trace the pattern of the tire. Use the jack to lift the tire. Measure the rectangle you drew. Remove the jack. Calculate the area with cm (length times width) x tire pressure x 4. There's the weight. If you really can't get a decent etching with the screwdriver use it to disassemble the flare assembly Use the stuff inside the along with the screwdriver as a writing utensil.
