Extra Credit (5 Points)

The National Football League (NFL) is currently investigating whether the Patriots, Colts, or any
other entity purposely deflated footballs during this year's AFC Championship game.
Not so fast says Professor Bill Belicheck of the Foxboro Institute of Technology (FIT). He claims that it
is natural for a football starting with a PSI of 12.5 to easily deflate during the game using Guy-Lussac's
Laws. Given that it was raining that day, water pressure vapor is another variable to be considered.

Your job if you choose to accept it is to use the information in the the link(s) below to create a function or
set of functions that could be called to support Professor Bellichek's position that a ball starting at a PSI of
12.5 could easily deflate to 12.1 given the game time temperature of 51 degrees, and down to 11.7 considering
the water pressure vapor in the air caused by the rain. Pass in parameters such as temperate, water and air
pressure, and other factors to your functions(s), so that the NFL could model any conditions in the future
with their footballs.

I'll be picky here with extra credit points, but if you want to try your luck and do a good job with this, I throw a few
points your way. Good Luck if you decide to accept this challenge!
