Question 206

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Boyle's law states that if the temperature of a gas remains constant, then PV =c=c , where PP is the pressure, V\mathrm{V} is the volume, and c\mathrm{c} is a constant. Given a quantity of gas at constant temperature, if V\mathrm{V} is decreasing at a rate of 9in.3/s9 \mathrm{in} .3 / \mathrm{s} , at what rate is P\mathrm{P} increasing when P=70lb/in2\mathrm{P}=70 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2} and V=80\mathrm{V}=80 in. 3 ?


A) 638lb/in22 s\frac{63}{8} \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2}{ }^{2} \mathrm{~s}
B) 727lb/in2s\frac{72}{7} \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2}{ }^{-\mathrm{s}}
C) 4964lb/in2s\frac{49}{64} \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2}{ }^{-\mathrm{s}}
D) 56009lb/\frac{5600}{9} \mathrm{lb} / in. 2s^{2}-\mathrm{s}
