The density is obtained by dividing the mass by the volume. Since volume depends on temperature, so must density. Show that the change in density ∆ρ with the change in temperature ∆T of temperature ∆T is given by ∆ρ = -βρ∆T , where β is the coefficient of volumetric expansion. Explain the meaning of the minus sign

When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV^1.4=C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 450 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 93 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 14 kPa/minute.
