[net.physics] Formula

williams@kirk.DEC (John Williams 223-3402) (12/26/85)

	The magic formula is:

PV=NRT

	Where:

P = pressure
V = volume
N = moles
R = physical constant
T = temperature

	I haven't used it for 12 years.

> PV=NRT

One wonders what this was in reference to.
The only query I recall was about variation
of atmospheric pressure with height, which
is roughly exponential.
