Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The volume of gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure.
[tex]V_1=32\ cm^3\\\\P_1=8\ \text{pounds}\\\\V_2=60\ cm^3[/tex]
We need to find pressure [tex]P_2[/tex].
According to question,
[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}[/tex]
Putting all the values
[tex]P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{8\times 32}{60}\\\\P_2=4.26\ \text{pounds}[/tex]
So, the pressure is 4.26 pounds.
