I need someone with a masters degree in math. If I plug a tire with a 3/16th diameter hole, and pump up the tire to 42 pounds per square inch, then the actual force trying to shove that plug out when the bike is at rest should be 42 psi for one square inch times by the actual area of the hole, which if my fifth grade education didnt fail me is .02759 in. so the actual pounds on the plug at rest is .1 lbs or 1.6 ounces? Then we have to add the centrifical force when the bike is moving????? Has anyone ever had a plug fly out of a tire?
Area of a 3/16 diameter hole =Pi x radius squared = 3.14 x .09375 squared= .02759 sq inches
