An airplane passenger has 100 $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$ of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. What volume will the air have at cruising altitude if cabin pressure drops to $7.50 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2} ?$
An airplane passenger has 120 cm3 of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. What volume, in cubic centimeters, will the air have at cruising altitude at the same temperature (body temperature) if cabin pressure drops to 7.50 × 104 Pa and no air leaves their stomach?

An airplane passenger has 85 cm3 of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. What volume, in cubic centimeters, will the air have at cruising altitude at the same temperature (body temperature) if cabin pressure drops to 7.50 × 104 Pa and no air leaves their stomach?
