Sample Example,
At 21 psi gauge pressure = 151.95 KPa, where, Air Column Length(L) is 13 cm
and 1/L is 0.077 c m−1 .
A b s o lt u e P r e s su r e=151.95+101.3=253.6 K P a
DISCUSSION:
As seen from the data and graph of absolute pressure versus 1/L, the inverse of volume
steadily increased with increment in pressure. It means absolute pressure inversely
proportional to the volume. For example, volume of balloon decreases when pressure around
balloon increase, and likewise, its volume will increase as decrease the pressure around a
balloon.
CONCLUSION:
Both the graph and data analysis support the theoretical statement that pressure inversely
proportional to the volume.
