1 For any given mass of gas, the volume V cm3 and pressure p (in suitable units) satisfy
the relationship
1 n
V= p ,
k
where k and n are constants.
For a particular type of gas, n = −2.3 . At an instant when volume is 32 cm3, the
pressure is 105 units and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 0.2 units s 1.
Calculate the rate of decrease of volume at this instant. [4]
