document.write( "The volume of a gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure.
\n" );
document.write( " V = k/P
\n" );
document.write( "The volume is 26 cubic centimeters at a pressure of 11  pounds.
\n" );
document.write( " 26 = k/11
\n" );
document.write( " 26*11 = k = 286
\n" );
document.write( "when the volume is 43 cubic centimeters, find pressure (it will be less as Volume increases)
\n" );
document.write( "  P = k/V = 286/43 lbs
\n" );
document.write( "(Answer is between 6 and 7)
