boyle's law... urgent!
« on: August 19, 2007, 10:53:07 AM »
heyy.. i am doing an experiment to test boyle's law by placing books on top of an airtight cylinder. the question is: how would you go about testing whether the cylinder, with the plunger inserted, is really airtight?
thanks :)

Put weight on it and see if the plunger goes all the way down, thus evacuating the air?
This question is kinda vague.
