The volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on the gas. \n" ); document.write( "v = k/p \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( " If the volume is 6 cubic centimeters when the pressure on the gas is 8 kilograms per square centimeter, \n" ); document.write( "6 = k/8 \n" ); document.write( "k = 48 \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "v = 48/p \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( " then what is the volume when the pressure is 12 kilograms per square centimeter? \n" ); document.write( "v = 48/12 \n" ); document.write( "v = 4 cubic centimeters \n" ); document.write( "========================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
