Answer: V = 3.4 L
Explanation: Use Boyle's Law to find the new volume. P1V1 = P2V2, derive for V2, then the formula will be V2= P1V1 / P2
V2 = 2.5 atm ( 4.5 L ) / 3.3 atm
= 3.4 L
If the distance around the equator is reduced by half, then the radius is also reduced by half.
Since the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to 1/(radius²),
the acceleration changes by a factor of 1/(1/2)² = 1/(1/4) = <em>4 </em>.
The acceleration due to gravity ... and also the weight of everything on Earth ...
becomes <em>4 times what it is now</em>.
The work is 90 as 5 times 18
