What holds the car off the ground? Assume the car is stationary.

A) The tires
B) The compressed air
C) Both
D) Neither

I'd say the compressed air. The tire does help, but without the air inside it wouldn't matter.

Depends sort of. The comp air is holding it up, but w/out tires there is nothing to keep the air compressed.

is this really a QR question lol?

But I'd say C

wtf!?

If you got twenee-fo's on that bitch, you don't really need air to hold your whip up.

What this question have to do with Math?...but I would go with C..however, need more info :confused:

lol

I was thinking the air just holds the sidewall of the tire upright so the weight can be transferred through the sidewall. Kinda like one 2x4 holding up another 2x4 which supports the weight like this /| So ya, I pick the tire, not the air. Yes the air is necessary but is it really supporting weight? Can air support weight? (except in a piston). The only weight I think air can support is lighter air (hotter air, helium etc.).

This statement supports my logic ironically. Big wheels have low profile tires with stiff sidewalls. The only difference between those and normal tires is the stiffness of the sidewall. Air only provides sidewall stiffness which supports the weight.

i wish the QR had only problems like this....i'd be done studying before I even start

Neither. My car is always on the ground lol. The tires are part of the car* lol. Unless u got a car that can float on air. lol

lol my question just got pwnd.

BTW, you use lol as often as you use punctuation.

bahaha.

also, what's the actual answer? i didn't see you post it. and like someone else asked... HOW is that QR?? what are you using?

lol my question just got pwnd.

I know lol. Its a bad habit lol. I cant seem to get rid of it lol. Even when im pissed ill end my sentence with lol. I think im gonna end up closing my personal statement with lol.

lol.

lol.

touche


... lol

but is all jokes aside, was this question for real?

can't be, there's not math.

can't be, there's not math.


........... And there's no reasoning either .............. lol ;p

I admit it...not a real QR question. It was my 50th post prank lol. Fun to think about though. My dad and I have been debating this for quite some time.

Haha. I feel like a giant douche for taking it seriously now.

Seriously; lol.:laugh:

I seriously think you can debate it has to be both. Let's use logic: Can a tire by itself without pressure hold the car up? NO

Can the air pressure without a tire hold the car up (assuming NORMAL sidewalls, not "24aws", etc...)? No

Therefore they must be dependent on each other.

Maybe this really is a math question and it's testing dependent and independent events...and this must be a dependent event, in which one fully depends on the other. Or it could be a probability question..

Given no pressure (0), what is the (P)=car off ground? 0

Given no tire, what is the (P)=car off ground? 0

Given tire and pressure, what is the (P)=car off ground? Dependent upon level of pressure & type of tire....

or maybe I'm just overthinking this way too much! (in the words of my solid to gas friend here, LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL)
