A bicycle tire pump has a piston with area 0.43 In2. If a person exerts a force of 16 lb on the piston while Inflating a tire, what pressure does this produce on the air in the pump?

The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

By definition, the pressure is the force exerted on the piston divided by its area. Given that, force is distributed uniformly on the piston area, the formula to determine the pressure is:

Where:

- Pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

- Force exerted on the piston, measured in pounds.

- Piston area, measured in square inches.

If and , the pressure produced on the air in the pump is:

The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.
