Question
Boyle’s Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed
at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V
satisfy the equation PV= C , where C is a constant.
Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 600 cm3 , the
pressure is 150 kPa, and the pressure is increasing at a rate
of 20 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume decreasing at
this instant?

The pulley is located 5ft vertically above the water on the dock. The other end of the rope is attached to a float floating on the water. The rope is pulled in at a constant rate of 3 ft/s. How fast is the float traveling on the surface of the water (towards the dock) at the moment when the boat is 12ft from the dock? Hint: The edge of the dock, down to the water, then over to the float, makes a triangle. d山T06 NOV 10 PACES 18 MacBook Air DIIarrow_forward
