A bicycle pump takes a volume V of air at atmospheric pressure p 0 and constant temperature
Question:
A bicycle pump takes a volume ΔV of air at atmospheric pressure p0 and constant temperature T0 and compresses it so that it enters a tyre that has a volume V0. The air inside the tyre is initially at atmospheric pressure p0 and can be considered as an ideal gas. Determine the number of times n the user has to pump air into the tyre to reach a pressure pf. Assume that the pump is designed so that the air in the tyre is always at temperature T0.
