An enclosed gas exerts a pressure P on the walls of a container. This pressure is directly proportional to the temperature T of the gas. If the pressure is 7 lb per square inch. when the temperature is 420ºF, find the constant of variation.

Respuesta :

420 F must be converted to degrees absolute 
= 420+460 = 880 degrees absolute 
P = kT 
7 = k * 880 
k = 7/880
p = K T 

7 = 420 k 

k = 1 / 60

Answer:

7 = 420 k

k = 1 / 60
