Question 1 of 5
Boyle's Law

Boyle's law states that "for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional". Expressed as a formula, that's \(\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{V_2}{V_1}\)

A mass of air has a pressure of 6.0 psi and a volume of 30 ft.3. If the air is compressed to a new volume of 5 ft.3, what is the new pressure?
36 psi
38 psi
39 psi
39.6 psi
