Air is compressed inside the inner tube of a bike using a manual bicycle pump. The handle of the pump is brought down from an initial position x₂ to a final position x₁ where x₁2 and the norm of the force is assumed to be given by,The process is assumed to be reversible and the cylinder of the pump has a cross section A. Determine in terms of the atmospheric pressure p₀,

a) The work W_h performed by the hand on the handle of the pump,

b) The pressure p (x),

c) The work W₁₂ performed on the system according to relation (2.42).
