The volume V of a fixed amount of a gas varies directly as the temperature T and inversely as the pressure P. Suppose that V=120 cm" when T=260 kelvin kg Find the pressure when T=380 kelvin and V= 152 cm cm and P= 13 kg cm
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
![### Problem Statement:
The volume \( V \) of a fixed amount of a gas varies directly as the temperature \( T \) and inversely as the pressure \( P \). Suppose that \( V = 120 \, \text{cm}^3 \) when \( T = 260 \, \text{kelvin} \) and \( P = 13 \, \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{cm}^2} \). Find the pressure when \( T = 380 \, \text{kelvin} \) and \( V = 152 \, \text{cm}^3 \).
### Explanation:
The direct and inverse proportionality can be expressed mathematically using the equation:
\[ V = \frac{kT}{P} \]
where \( k \) is the proportionality constant.
Given:
- \( V = 120 \, \text{cm}^3 \)
- \( T = 260 \, \text{kelvin} \)
- \( P = 13 \, \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{cm}^2} \)
First, we need to find the proportionality constant \( k \):
\[ 120 = \frac{k \cdot 260}{13} \]
Calculating \( k \):
\[ k = \frac{120 \cdot 13}{260} \]
\[ k = 6 \]
Now, we need to find the new pressure \( P \) when:
- \( T = 380 \, \text{kelvin} \)
- \( V = 152 \, \text{cm}^3 \)
Using the same equation with the known \( k \):
\[ V = \frac{6 \cdot T}{P} \]
\[ 152 = \frac{6 \cdot 380}{P} \]
Solving for \( P \):
\[ 152P = 6 \cdot 380 \]
\[ 152P = 2280 \]
\[ P = \frac{2280}{152} \]
\[ P = 15 \, \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{cm}^2} \]
### Answer:
The pressure when \( T = 380 \, \text{kelvin} \) and \( V = 152 \, \text{cm}^3 \) is \( 15 \, \frac](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F291d7961-38c8-46f7-a661-8bb6ad5e5399%2F4c258c5e-13bc-42e1-93a0-24ad99c7a075%2Fpzglo7k_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
