Question: When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV 1.4 = C ,

When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation

PV1.4 = C,

where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 600 cm3 and the pressure is 80 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 10 kPa/min. At what rate (in cm3/min) is the volume increasing at this instant? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
