Relationship between the air pressure of a bike and
the Coef±icient of rolling resistance
1.0
Introduction
Because I live in the Netherlands it is very common for people to use bikes as a way of
transportation as bike paths are very common and new urban development is
surrounded around making bike lanes safe and ef±icient to reduce CO
2
emissions. When
I was younger I used to compete in biking marathons with my father, where I began to
±ind a passion for biking. I did competitions from age 15-16, however now I use my bike
on a day-to-day basis to get to school which was approximately 4km each way, and then
bike to Basketball practice which was 11km each way. I would constantly have to pump
my tires as they would commonly go ±lat due to the age of my bike, therefore I began to
notably see a difference in how much force I had to exert to bike faster when my tires
were lower rather than when I would have recently pumped them up. During Bike
marathons, my father would vary the pressure of our bikes depending on the terrain and
weather. Consequently, I began to wonder what the most practical pressure is for biking
the distances I do on a daily would be. Therefore throughout the report, I will be
investigating the relationship between the change in the pressure of the bike tire and
the coef±icient of rolling resistance (C
sr
).
1.1
Research
question
How is the Coef±icient of rolling resistance (dimensionless), of a bike tire affected by the
variation of its pressure (60psi, 80psi, 100psi, 120psi, 140psi
2% )?

Scienti±ic
Context
&
theory
Through this Lab report I will be investigating the effect that a change in the pressure of
a bike tire has on the coef±icient of rolling resistance. The property inherent to the tire,
based on factors affecting the resistance of the tire, force acting opposite to the motion
of the cyclist is the coef±icient. Although pressure has an impact, factors such as surface
characteristics for instance roughness, tire characteristics for example tire
material/tread and the supported weight are likewise relevant factors which would
in±luence the magnitude of resistive force, therefore re±lecting variations in the
coef±icient. The equation of rolling resistance is expressed as,
F=C
sr
N
(Ryan
Johnson). The friction experienced by the E-bike tire due to rolling on a surface is
F
,
where the coef±icient property of the tire is
C
sr
,
and the weight of the E-bike body
supporting the tire being equal to the Normal force
N.
The Normal force (
N
) can likewise
be expressed as mg,
m
being the mass of the body and
g
being equal to the constant of
Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s
2
). To make the coef±icient property of the
tire (
C
sr
) the subject,
C
sr
=
F/W
, therefore expressing
C
sr
as the force of rolling
resistance on the tire per unit force of weight as W=mg. Consequently, for 0.5kg of
weight (4.45N) to oppose the resistant force of rolling resistance and accelerate in a
forward direction more than 0.5kg of force (4.45N) must be acquired. As there is an
inverse relationship, The coef±icient of rolling resistance will inversely increase with the
pressure of the tire (Greg Kopecky). From biking, it's known to me that an individual has
to exert more force on the pedals when the tires have lower pressure, causing
acceleration to be more dif±icult in the forward direction. This, therefore, demonstrates
force opposite to velocity is larger. Intuitively, as the pressure of a tire decreases, and the
surface area of the tire increases as it hits the ground, therefore more force is
necessitated to move the tire. This occurs as the structural properties of a tire are
affected by the pressure of the tire. As air is pumped into the tire, there's
correspondingly an increase in air molecules, causing the volume to ultimately increase.
The
vacuity of the tire decreases, as the increasing number of molecules, occupy it. The
pressure is increased as a result of a higher force exerted by the greater momentum
change when molecules interact with the wall and collide at a more rapid rate. As
pressure is equal to the perpendicular force per unit area (Aakanksha Gaur), As
pressure decreases, the number of molecules would decrease, resulting in a lower
density. Correspondingly fewer molecules will collide against the wall and the tire
becomes less ±irm increasing the tire's contact with the surface, and increasing the
frictional property (Kevin Shen).

the pressure of the bike tire through a pressure gauge in psi where 1 psi is equal to
6894.76Pa. The selected values were determined by the accuracy of the pump
measurements. The measurement markings between 10 were indistinct and therefore
values which have the highest accuracy were selected. As preliminary experiments
demonstrated a signi±icant difference from 60psi to 140psi, it can be deduced that the
selected range was suf±icient. In cogitation with section 2, the surrounding temperature
of the tire might vary the accuracy of the E-bike when gauging the pressure within it if
there's a sudden change in temperature.
3.2
Dependant
variable
Due to the coef±icient of rolling resistance being dimensionless, initially the raw data
will consist of measuring the deceleration (m/s
2
) of the tire in relation to the varying
pressure (Pa). The experimental set-up (section 4.2), was done with 5 trials to reduce
the uncertainty through random error. The coef±icient will then be calculated through
data processing ( section 5.1).

Initial velocity of the bike

It's crucial to keep the
initial velocity constant as
through the experimental
process the coef±icient will
be discovered through
measuring the acceleration
of the tire. Acceleration is
equal to the velocity over
time therefore accurately
measuring acceleration
will require a constant
initial velocity.
I conceptualised that to
accurately measure the
velocity a tire is moving,
and repeat this process
with the exact identical
constant initial velocity, I
could use an electric bike
(Sparta ultra M5B
conversion kit on an
X-treme bike frame). The
electric bike has various
settings where the speed
can be controlled through
a throttle which
accelerates the bike's front
tire at a constant force. I
chose setting 1 which was

alter and the tire might

Different tires would
correspondingly have
distinct designs which
This will simply be
controlled by using the
exact same tire as a

Temperature (

)
Variations in temperature
in±luence the pressure in a
tire. This is as the gas
particle's kinetic energy
increases in correlation
with an increase in
temperature, causing them
to move with greater
energy and increasing
their collisions with each
other and the surface.
However small changes in
temperature should
theoretically not
signi±icantly skew the
results. The air pressure of
a bike is increased by 1.8%
for every increase in
degree celsius (Floadmin)
To minimize the variation
in temperature, the
experimental procedure
will be conducted in an
ef±icient manner where all
results can be collected
within a 30min time
period to reduce the
probability of a change in
weather. This will be
monitored to be around 19

Changes in the surface
would correspond to
changes in its frictional
properties of it. Rougher
surfaces have higher
friction because there are
more irregularities,
causing interlocking,
therefore the force of
kinetic friction against the

Experimental
methods
1.
First, set the bike to suspend the front motorised tire, by using the double
kickstand.
2.
Secondly, attach the Presta valve onto the air compressor, then de±late the tire.
3.
Following that, when the front tire is de±lated, use the air compressor to in±late
the tire to 60psi
4.
Whereafter by using the pressure gauge, inspect that the tire is at 60psi for
increased accuracy
5.
Before conducting the experiment, ensure to conduct the experiment at a
monitored temperature (19
°C
) and to execute the experiment on the same
surface for each trial.
6.
Henseforce set the bike to setting 1 (8km/h) by using the arrows above and
below the display and stand by until the bike displays 8km/h and has reached
the maximum Velocity.
7.
Next, release the throttle and place the front tire on the ground (make sure not to
push down onto the bike resulting in a greater force exerted down onto the
wheel).
8.
As soon as the wheel makes contact with the ground surface, use the stopwatch
to record the time taken for the tire to reach 0m/s and come to a complete stop.
9.
Subsequently repeat steps 3-7, 5 different times, to have multiple trials
10. Finally repeat steps 3-8 for the various pressures (80psi,100psi,120psi and
140psi)
4.4
Risk
assessment
To ensure the E-Bike is secure and won't potentially cause damage to itself or harm to
the individual conducting the experiment through falling, when mounting the bike
caution should be taken. Although there are no signi±icant risks when conducting this
experiment, to some degree the individual will have involvement with sharp points as
well as fast-moving components such as the bike chain, spokes and gears. Gloves are
suggested to avoid cuts and ensure the individual's safety. Comprehensively, the
experimental procedure has minor safety concerns and no ethical or environmental
issues and therefore are not applicable to this investigation.

The Force (

acceleration. For this investigation,
F
is equal to the

on the tire
.
Drag is neglected
which is the force which acts opposite to the relative motion of a moving object, with
respect to a ±luid surrounding (Aakanksha Gaur). Since the bike is in a controlled
environment ( stationary and not moving and within a fenced area blocking wind), the
only component of drag relevant would be the rotation of the tire, where the spokes
push away air particles as it is moving relative to the fuid. The bike tire is rotating at a
rate where drag would be so insigni±icantly small it will be neglected within this
investigation (Shital Shah). You can rearrange the equation

with

, as
forces like kinetic frictional force which is exerted on the wheel as it moves along a
surface can be neglected due to the various properties of

Graph
(Figure 2 - Graph of C

vs change in pressure)
The graph represents the relationship between the coef±icient of rolling resistance
(Y-axis) as a result of a change in the pressure within the bike tire (X-axis). The data
presents a negative correlation, as the air pressure of the tire increases, the coef±icient of
rolling resistance decreases. The curve ±it line proposes possibilities of a horizontal
asymptote of the relationship C
sr
= y = 0. This can further be evaluated by ±itting the line
of best ±it to the power function

pressure in a tire is impossible, making both asymptotes reasonable. There would have
to be zero tire for the C
sr
to equal 0, which cannot be achieved through manipulation of
the tire pressure. The increasing air pressure causes the coef±icient to decrease to a
point where the decline becomes unnoticeable re±lected on the right side of the graph,
which is realistic as the existence of a tire cannot be erased as a result of an increase in
pressure. The asymptote can be questioned as it suggests that a coef±icient of rolling
resistance near 0 is obtainable. Various factors, previously explored in section 3.3, show
how diverse factors besides the air pressure (surface roughness, tire material) affect the
coef±icient of rolling resistance suggesting that the asymptote would not be zero. The
other factors are independent of the air pressure which causes them to act as a
minimum for how low the coef±icient of rolling resistance can go when manipulating the
tire's air pressure.

Conclusion
The data obtained indicates that as the pressure of the bike tire increases, the coef±icient
of rolling resistance consequently decreases. At 60 psi the coef±icient of rolling
resistance was 0.061, at 100 psi the coef±icient of rolling resistance was 0.048 and at
140 psi, 0.043. The experimental data clearly underlines a decline representing an
inverse relationship between the coef±icient of rolling resistance and pressure. Although
there is a decline, it begins to diminish in correlation with an increase in pressure. The
difference in the coef±icient of rolling resistance between 60psi and 80psi was 0.008,
whereas the difference between 120psi and 140psi was 0.002, which is a fourth of the
previous decline further reinforcing the possibility of an asymptote. This occurs as a
result of the change in pressure correlating to a change in the surface area of the tire as
a consequence of the tire deformation. The increased pressure would correspond to a
reduced surface area. The greater the cross-sectional area of the tire, the greater the
amount of rolling resistance it encounters since it collides with more particles on the
surface (Simon von Bromley).
Two minor outliers can be identi±ied in the raw data set for 100psi at trial 5 and 120psi
at trial 3. These outliers can be justi±ied through multiple components, reaction time
and subjectivity. As the human reaction time varies, the data measurements will be
in±luenced by this human error. Subjectivity can relate to the human perception upon a
situation in this case when the tire reached a velocity of 0. Throughout data collection, I
based my perception on the tire's rotation however for a few trials I based my
perception on the digital software of the bike displaying the velocity which could have
altered the data and created these minor outliers. The reliability of the data can be
re±lected through the 0.9944
The results, therefore, are consistent with the hypothesis as I hypothesised the inverse
relationship that as the pressure of the bike tire decreases, the coef±icient of rolling
resistance begins to increase, as a result of a larger surface area generating a greater
resistant force, further reinforced by the linear graph (±igure 3) presenting a fairly
strong correlation. Comparing my results to a study conducted by Greg Kopecky,
published on Wednesday 04/09/2019, his data suggests a similar inverse relationship,
further validating my investigation. Through this my real-life understanding of biking is
re±lected, where an underin±lated tire will feel more dif±icult and slower to bike.

The results which I acquired from my experimental procedure were suf±icient and
consistent enough to reinforce my hypothesis. Any errors did not signi±icantly alter the
conclusion of the investigation, despite some uncertainties being consequentially higher
than ideal, however reason as of this was mentioned in section 6.0. For both original and
linearized data, no overlap occurred with the uncertainties, exhibiting how the
experimental data acquired from the investigation supports the overall conclusion,
despite the uncertainties.
7.2
Strength
A major strength of the investigation was controlling the mass and keeping it constant.
This was effectively controlled by placing the bike on a ±lat stone for elevation allowing
the bike to tilt forwards and make contact with the surface without any additional mass.
A constant mass ensures the weight is constantly allowing no alteration of the surface
area displaced by the tire which is the key component in±luencing the C
sr
, therefore
maintaining reliable results. Another strength was being able to accurately control the
initial velocity of the wheel to an uncertainty of
0.01 through the bike's software
±
settings. During the data collection, the ef±iciency of data collection largely contributed
to a major strength. This allowed for minimal error when processing data and obtaining
the C
sr
value. By ensuring to conduct each trial through a planned and controlled time
period, I obtained all the needed results within a 30min time period without rushing
results. An ef±icient data collection was essential to lower the error of temperature
affecting the pressure discussed in (section 7.3).
7.3
Weakness
Error’s during the experimental procedure which could have affected the reliability of
the data would be my perspective, as I was the one who identi±ied when the tire’s
velocity reached 0 and stopped the stop-watch. Human error could have occurred both
through the millisecond delay of a human's reaction time as well as misinterpreting
when the tire has reached a complete stop (0m/s) mentioned in (section 6). To
minimise the random error, throughout the scienti±ic procedure I took 5 trials for each
variation in pressure, therefore using the mean as a value. Due to a smaller range of data
being collected, random error can be argued to be the largest source of uncertainty. The
investigation was likewise done outside, allowing ±luctuations in the temperature,
affecting the pressure within the tire. This is because the Ideal gas law states that as
temperature increases, the velocity of Gas particles collides against the tire due to the
average kinetic energy increasing. The pressure being the force exerted by particles per
unit of area, Temperature is proportional to pressure (Patricia Shapley). To signi±icantly
reduce this random error, if this investigation was repeated, conducting the
experimental procedure indoors would allow a controlled room temperature which
would maintain constant through a controlled home thermometer, therefore possible
temperature ±luctuations can be neglected.
7.4
Extension
To reduce the effect of human error, if the investigation was repeated I would increase
the initial velocity. This would ultimately enhance the distinction of times more
enunciated and allow the reaction time to be more constant correlating to an increased
focus. Likewise focusing on the digital screen displaying the velocity would reduce the
human error of perception as the stopwatch would only be stopped once 0m/s is
displayed. When evaluating how this investigation can be applied in real life, although
variables such as propelling force, temperature and surface roughness are controlled, in
real life these variables will never be constant. The investigation does not identify the
relationship between the coef±icient of rolling resistance and various
terrains/temperature. Furthermore, rougher terrain such as forests potentially would
cause lower-pressure tires to lose less energy as reducing tire pressure would expand
its tread and increase the surface area of the tire causing increased traction as the tire
can dis±igure to match the surface roughness (Dean Mellor). For future investigations,
these variables can be measured in various ways. To investigate the effect of various
terrains, my method (section 4.3) can be conducted on various surfaces (sand, tarmac,
rock), with a possible research question “How does the terrain (sand, tarmac, rock)
affect a change in C
sr
of a bike tire”. A second possible investigation could consider the
effect of temperature as pressure is heavily in±luenced by it (section 6.0), with a possible
research question “How does the temperature of air (5
°C
, 15
°C
, 25
°C
, 35
°C
, 45
°C
) affect
the C
sr

Tires are one of the most frequently encountered applications of the gas laws that we never think about. We fill our tires with air, or with nitrogen, but it always works out the same way. Enough gas goes in, the tire inflates, and then the pressure starts going up. In this assignment, we’ll be investigating the ways that the gas laws impact how we treat our tires.
Q1. I have good information that in Fast 29, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) will need to refill a tire quickly during a dramatic moment. For this reason, he has a 3.00 L tank of compressed air that is under 2.7892*103 mmHg and is kept cool in dry ice at -35.0 °C.
When Dom hooks his compressed air up to his completely empty 10.50 L tire at 39.2 °C and lets it run, what will his final tire pressure be, in atm? Assume all the air is transferred into the tire. Is his tire pressure above the 2.31 atm that he needs to save the planet/his family/his crew?
Q2. Your car tire pressure sensor looks to see when your tire pressure…

Mountaineers often use a rope to lower themselves
down the face of a cliff (this is called rappelling). They
do this with their body nearly horizontal and their feet
pushing against the cliff (Eigure 1). Suppose that an
78.6-kg climber, who is 1.88 m tall and has a center of
gravity 1.0 m from his feet, rappels down a vertical cliff
with his body raised 40.4° above the horizontal. He
holds the rope 1.54 m from his feet, and it makes a
20.7° angle with the cliff face.

Wind power is defined as the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical
force to generate electricity. Wind power is an alternative to burning fossil fuels, and is
renewable and produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
Modern horizontal-axis wind turbines often use three blades. Theoretically, the
maximum power P (unit: watts) that a three-blade wind turbine can extract from the
wind power can be calculated as:
P = pAv³C₁.
. (Equation 1)
where p is the air density (kg/m³), A is the sweep area of the turbine (m²) and can be
calculated from the length of the turbine blades, and v is the wind speed (m/s). Cp is
the power coefficient that is unique to each turbine type. This coefficient represents
the amount of kinetic energy from the wind that is captured by the turbine. From the
Betz's limit law we know that the best power conversion possible is Cp,max = 0.59.
Part 1
Given the following data:
Blade length /= 50 m
Air density p= 1.5 kg/m³
