Question

The volume of gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure. If the volume is 32 cubic centimeters at a pressure of 8 pounds, find the pressure when the volume is 60 cubic centimeters.

Answer 1

4.267 pounds

Explanation:

32 cm^3 / 60 cm^3 = 0.533...

8 lbs x 0.533 = 4.267 lbs.

When the volume is 60 cubic centimeters, the pressure will be 4.267 pounds.
