When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its
pressure and volume are related by the equation where is a constant. Suppose that at a certain
instant the volume is cubic centimeters and the pressure is
kPa and is decreasing at a rate of
kPa/minute. At what
rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant?
(Pa stands for Pascal -- it is equivalent to one Newton/(meter squared); kPa is a kiloPascal or 1000 Pascals. )
