Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 57P

You’re the product safety officer for a company that makes cycling accessories. You’re given a new design for a bicycle pump that includes a cylinder 32 cm long when the pump handle is all the way out. To keep the pump from getting too hot, you specify that the temperature rise should not exceed 75°C when the handle is pushed rapidly, with the outlet blocked, until the internal length of the cylinder is 16 cm. Assuming air initially at 18°C, does the pump meet your temperature-rise criterion?

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
