...of rest or motion until acted on by some force external to itself. The law of Mariotte affirms that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its tension. The law of gravitation states that any two masses of matter attract each other with a force... | |

...one-third, and so on. By such experiments Boyle was led to discover the following law : — Boyle's Law. — The volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. In what is stated above it is supposed that the temperature of the gas is kept constant ; we now proceed... | |

...by the efficiency of (a) a simple machine, (b) a steam-engine, including boiler and furnaces ? 4. " The volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted upon it." How then would you give precision to the term " coefficient of expansion,"... | |

...explained in a satisfactory manner as arising from these several influences. According to Boyle's law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure upon it, and therefore the product of the pressure into the volume or the quotient of... | |

...pressure of a given mass of gas at constant temperature and v its volume, then pv is a constant. Since the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its density, it follows that the pressure is proportional to the density, and Boyle's law l is sometimes... | |
