\
For adiabatic expansion, the pressure and volume
are related by the equation
, where
is a constant.
At an instant, volume and the pressure
.
Rate of change of pressure .
Here the negative sign indicates that the pressure is decreasing.
\Consider .
Differentiate on each side with respect to .
Substitute and
in the above equation.
Therefore, the volume is increasing at a rate of cm3/min.
\
The volume is increasing at a rate of cm3/min.
