inent found that the volume of a gas is in-versely proportional to the pressure it supports, or, in otherwords, that the product of pressure and volume, p v, isalways constant. p v — p v —p v. This can readily be shown experimentally. For pres-sures greater than one atmosphere, Figs. 65 and 66… … - the tubing from a to b. The arm a is lowered until themercury stands at the same level in both arms. The lengthof the column of air b c is then noted whileit is under the pressure of the atmospherealone. The arm a is then raised until themercury at a is, say, thirty inches higherthan at b. The…
