Pressure, P, is directly proportional to temperature,T, and P is 28 lb per square inch when T is 112 degress Kelvin.
What is the pressure when the temperature is 124 degrees Kelvin?
If required, round answer to three decimal places.
_____lbs per square inch.
(124/112)28
To find the pressure when the temperature is 124 degrees Kelvin, we can use the known proportional relationship between pressure and temperature. Since pressure and temperature are directly proportional, we can establish the proportionality using the given values:
P1/T1 = P2/T2
where P1 is the initial pressure, T1 is the initial temperature, P2 is the pressure we want to find, and T2 is the corresponding temperature.
Substituting the given values into the equation, we have:
28 lb/in^2 / 112 K = P2 / 124 K
To solve for P2, we can cross-multiply and divide:
P2 = (28 lb/in^2 / 112 K) * 124 K
P2 = 31.5 lb/in^2
Therefore, the pressure when the temperature is 124 degrees Kelvin is 31.5 lbs per square inch.
