Answer: No it is not safe to drive on.
Explanation:
To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,
[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]
where,
[tex]P_1\text{ and }T_1[/tex] are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.
[tex]P_2\text{ and }T_2[/tex] are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.
We are given:
[tex]P_1=32.1psi\\T_1=12.5^0C=(273+12.5)K=285.5K\\P_2=?psi=27.5psi\\T_2=-3.1^0C=(273-3.1)K=269.9K[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\frac{32.1}{285.5K}=\frac{P_2}{269.9}\\\\P_2=30.3psi[/tex]
As the pressure lies below the recommended range of 32.0-35.0 psi. Thus it is not safe to drive on
