Boyle’s Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the equation PV= C  where C  is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 600 cu. cm the pressure is 150 kPa , and the pressure is increasing at a rateof 20 kPamin. At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant?
