I. Objectives of the Experiment
The objective of the experiment was to investigate Boyle's aw! which in other
terms is the investigation of the relationship between press"re an# vol"me.

the relationshi* between the *ress,re and ol,me o+ an ideal .as ,nder
constant tem*erat,re) The .ra*h is increasin. linearly which means that the
inerse absol,te *ress,re is directly *ro*ortional to the ol,me o+ air in other
words the absol,te *ress,re is inersely *ro*ortional to the ol,me o+ air
since its a strai.ht line the slo*e o+ this line acts as the # constant) There+ore
an e>,ation o+ 89# ,nder constant tem*erat,re is eri4ed) The inacc,racy
o+ the # constant was +o,nd it wasnt e>,al in all cases o+ 89# cases) This
error is related to the inacc,racy in readin. the obsered data or the
mal+,nctionin. o+ the H0/0 ,nit there+ore a small mar.in o+ diFerence
e5isted between the #s calc,lated) This sim,lation o+ Boyles Law e5*eriment
came to a concl,sion with the eri4cation o+ the law that ,nder constanttem*erat,re the ol,me and *ress,re o+ an ideal .as are inersely
*ro*ortional as the ol,me o+ air increased the absol,te *ress,re decreased)
