document.write( "Question 758013: Under constant temperature, the volume occupied by a gas varies inversely , to the pressure applied. If the gas occupies a volume of 20 cubic inches under a pressure of 6 pounds per square inch, find the volume when the gas is subjected to a pressure of 10 pounds per squire inch. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #461244 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume varies inversely as Pressure \n" ); document.write( "V = k/P \n" ); document.write( "(k = constant of variation) \n" ); document.write( "Using first set of data to work out k \n" ); document.write( "20 = k/6 \n" ); document.write( "k = 120 \n" ); document.write( "Formula: V = 120/P \n" ); document.write( " V = 120/10 \n" ); document.write( "Volume = 12 pounds per sq inch. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
