When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV1.4 = C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 540 cm , and the pressure is 99 kPa (kPa = kiloPascals) and is decreasing at a rate of 12 kPa/minute. At what rate is the volume increasing at this instant? The volume is increasing at cm /min.
