Wouldn't V^1.4 dP/dt+ 1.4V^.4 P dV/dt=0?
solve for dV/dt
When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV^{1.4}=C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 520 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 75 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 12 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant?
