We use the Boyle´s Mariotte ´s law: for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume vary inversely proportionally: P1xV1= P2xV2. The unit of pressure is converted to mmHg in atm.
760 mmHg----1 atm
912 mmHg---x= (912 mmHg x 1 atm)/760 mmHg=1,2 atm
P1xV1= P2xV2
P2=P1xV1/V2= 1,2 atm x 12 L/ 8L= <em>1, 8 atm</em>
I think it is D. Think about it- if a human jumps, they are less than the gravitational force. But, if you are greater than the gravitational force, I think you will go into space.
