Question

An enclosed gas exerts a pressure P on the walls of a container. This pressure is directly proportional to the temperature T of the gas, measured in Kelvin. If the pressure is 7 lb per square inch when the temperature is 420ºK, find the constant of variation.

Answer 1

Okay lets see:

\[\large{P \propto T}\]

So, can I write the same as:

\[\large{P = kT}\]
?

Where, k = constant of variation

Answer 2

they want a answer here An enclosed gas exerts a pressure P on the walls of a container. This pressure is directly proportional to the temperature T of the gas. If the pressure is 7 lb per square inch. when the temperature is 420ºF, find the constant of variation.
