A bicycle floor pump has a cylindrical tube with an inside diameter of 1.0 inches. On the pump's upstroke, a diaphragm check valve opens and brings air in at 13.0 psia. The air is then transferred to the tire during the down stroke. The stroke length is 18 inches. Determine how many down strokes will be required to inflate a mountain bike tire to 40 psia.
