Can someone please help and explain me this physics question on pressure .....

-> A bicycle pump of length 45cm contains air with a pressure of 100kPa. In order to force air into the tyre, it is necessary to move the piston 15cm down the barrel. Calculate the pressure inside the tyre assuming the temperature is kept constant.
I would say it is Boyle's law P1V1=P2V2, ik you would be thinking, they only gave us length, but since cross-section is the same, so volume ratio should be also same a length, here is the solution

V1=45
v2=45-15=30
p1=100kpa
p2=?

=(45*100 000)/30=150 000=150 kpa

EZ;)

Ur point was right but my teacher told me dat it was too direct .... the area of the cross section is considered as 'a' .... we multiply the area with the length which will give us the volume.... consider pressure to b found as 'p'

45a * 100 000 = 30a *p

The 'a' is cancelled out n then we r left with :
P = 45 * 100 000 / 30 = 150 000 Pa = 15 kPa

Name two substances that pass out of the glomerulus into the renal capsule but are normally absent in the urine of man. what happens to these two substances in the nephron?

Could u guys answer this .

Glucose and salts
They r reabsorbed back by active transport because the body needs it

I know that it has to be solved out this way, but after all u eventually are going to get 'a' out by division,so it is a useless step, specially at IGCSE / O-level, no much care is about algebra...

one thing though, It should not be confused with where they are absorbed, I have seen questions, where they ask so and respond, would be the loop of Henle, which is incorrect because most glucose and salts (ions etc) are absorbed in the first loop/coil after the renal capsule

The whole of the selective reabsorption process is confusing and it remained till the day of my exam when eventually I was told to watch this
U can start watching it from 5:12, the guy pretty much explains everything

Thanx Ayesha Asif333 it really helped.
I have another question:
Describe four important processes that take place in the buccal cavity
