Pressure.
Scientist Robert Boyle examined the relationship between the volume in which a gas is contained and the pressure in its container. He used a cylindrical container with a moveable top that could be raised or lowered to change the volume.
He measured the Height in inches by counting equally spaced marks on the cylinder, and measured the Pressure in inches of mercury (as in a barometer). Some of his data are listed in the table. Create an appropriate model.
