Answer:
V = 160 cm³ when P = 40 kg/cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
V = k / P
Where,
V = volume
P = pressure
k = constant of proportionality
The volume of a gas is 200 cm3 under pressure of 32 kg/cm2
V = k / P
200 = k / 32
Cross product
200 × 32 = k
6,400 = k
k = 6,400
What will be its volume under pressure of 40 kg/cm2?
V = k / P
= 6,400 / 40
= 160
V = 160 cm³
