The house has an estimated weight of 52.3 tons. The trailer is expected to weigh 6.4 tons. Each wheel of the trailer will have tires inflated to a gauge pressure of 86 psi (which is actually 86 psi above atmospheric pressure). If the area of contact between a tire and the pavement can be no larger than 100.0 in2 (10.0 in. x 10.0 in.), what is the minimum number of wheels that trailer must have? (Tires are mounted in multiples of 2 on a trailer. Assume the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi.)
