Question: Consider the pneumatic system shown on the bottom, in which a tank of volume V is filled with gas through a valve with resistance R

Consider the pneumatic system shown on the bottom, in which a tank of volume V is filled with gas through a valve with
resistance R. The density of the gas at the entrance to the tank is in, it's pressure (before passing through the valve) is
pin and the volume flow of the gas into the tank is qin. Assuming ideal gas and constant temperature, it is known that
=1RSTp, where RS is the specific gas constant, T is the temperature of the gas, is the gas's density, and p is its
pressure.
Which of the following statements is true for the linear system whose input is pin(t) and output is the gas pressure inside
the tank, p(t)?
A. The DC gain of the system is 1R.
B. The system is unstable.
C. The time constant of the system is VRRsT.
D. The time constant of the system is RsTVR.
