Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 1 × 105 N/m2, which is about 15 pounds per square inch (psi). A bicycle tire
typically is pumped up to 50 psi above atmospheric pressure (psi “gauge”), for an actual pressure of about 65 psi. In rapidly
pumping up a bicycle tire, starting from atmospheric pressure, about how high does the temperature of the air rise? Explain
what approximations and simplifying assumptions you make.
