What does Boyle’s law refer to?
  1. Running
  2. Diving
  3. Jumping
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer - B - Boyle’s law refers to diving. This law states that the amount of gas dissolved in a given volume of fluid is proportional to the pressure of the gas with which it is in equilibrium. In other words, for every 33 feet below the surface you dive, the pressure of gas in your lungs doubles, while the volume decreases by one-half.
