Consider the following figure. A hexagon has six labeled vertices and a dashed line segment which divides the hexagon into a trapezoid and rectangle. The first side is horizontal, starts at vertex R, goes to the right, and ends at vertex S. The second side is vertical, starts at vertex S, goes up, and ends at vertex T. The third side starts at vertex T, goes up and to the right, and ends at vertex V. The fourth side is horizontal, starts at vertex V, goes to the left, and ends at vertex W. The fifth side starts at vertex W, goes down and to the right, and ends at vertex X. The sixth side is vertical, starts at vertex X, goes down, and ends at vertex R. ∠R and ∠S are right angles. A dashed line segment connects vertex X to vertex T. The trapezoid is created above the segment and the rectangle below the segment.

You and your younger brother are designing an air rifle that will shoot a lead pellet with mass

m = 1.20 g

and cross-sectional area

A = 0.0350 cm2.

The rifle works by allowing high-pressure air to expand, propelling the pellet down the rifle barrel. Because this process happens very quickly, no appreciable thermal conduction occurs and the expansion is essentially adiabatic. Your design is such that, once the pressure begins pushing on the pellet, it moves a distance of

L = 60.0 cm

before leaving the open end of the rifle at your desired speed of

v = 100 m/s.

Your design also includes a chamber of volume

V = 10.0 cm3

in which the high-pressure air is stored until it is released. Your brother reminds you that you need to purchase a pump to pressurize the chamber. To determine what kind of pump to buy, you need to find what the pressure of the air must be in the chamber (in Pa) to achieve your desired muzzle speed. Ignore the effects of the air in front of the bullet and friction with the inside walls of the barrel. (Assume that air is diatomic.)
