qRelationships between
pressure, temperature, and
density are described through the equation of state (ideal gas law).
qIndicates that at
constant temperatures, an increase in air density will trigger a pressure increase.
qUnder constant density,
an increase in temperature will be
accompanied by an increase in
pressure.
