Chapter 11, Problem 123CP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The effect of Heimlich maneuver on the volume of the chest and lungs of a person needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: The law which states the relation between pressure, $\text{P}$ and volume, $\text{V}$ under constant temperature, $\text{T}$ is said to Boyle’s law. According to this law, the pressure of an ideal gas has inverse relation with its volume:

  $\text{P}\propto \frac{1}{\text{V}}$

(b)
