PV = nRT
P = nRT/V

nRT are constant so P is inversely related to V. Linearly related.

So as V gets bigger, P gets smaller and vice versa. They gave away the answer in the first sentence. Except for the linear part. WTF?

The very question is posed funny - I mean they never even say how you squeeze it. Since it's a balloon if you squeeze it in the middle then the balloon will just stretch at the ends and the volume will remain the same and the pressure remains the same. Obviously they want the volume to change because of the question, but still - it's ghey.

yeah ghey imo

I am sure his answer and the teachers are both fine.

Do you bake a better quiche knowing physics?

Better Question: Why would you need this for culinary school? Lot of Balloon squeezing when you cook? The question is a a lot more aplicable if we're blowing air into and squeezing a watermelon imo.

ZOMG_RIGGED! · #19 10-22-2007, 01:35 PM

The answer should be something along the lines of "shmoosh". Because once you blow air into any food and then start squeezing it thats all your going to have. Trick question ldo

Knowing physics comes in really handy if you do pastry work - like crazy centerpieces, cakes, etc.

This is also sort of a chemistry problem which of course is really important in cooking. It seems though that it would be more applicable as a question of pressure varying by temperature since that's what you'll come across more though.
