hey guys !
for question 8.3, how do we know that delta V is pi*r^2*d? is it just because we're assuming the bicycle pump is a cylinder ?

Yes, since the equation to find work is w=-PdeltaV, we know we need to use the volume of the pump which we can assume to be a cylinder. The equation we use for volume would vary by problem and the container we're working with.

Since the question noted that there was an inner diameter, you can assume that it is referring to a cylinder.
