Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and the volume V satisfy the equation PV=C, where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 600cm3, the pressure is 150 kPa, and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 20 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant?
