Given information
Given in the equation that,
Initial tire (gauge) pressure is
Final pressure
Diameter of the plunger in the cylinder of the pump
We need to find the range of the force that needs to be applied to the pump handle from beginning to end
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
To determine the range of force acting on the pump handle, use the pressure and area of the pump cylinder.
The force acting at the beginning of the handle of the pump is,
The pressure at the beginning of the handle of the pump is
And the area of the cylinder of the pump is represented by
The radius of the pump cylinder is denoted by
The area of the pump cylinder is,
