Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure and volume satisfy the equation PV = C, where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 650 cm {image} , the pressure is 145 kPa, and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 37 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant? Round the result to the nearest thousandth if necessary.

A television camera is positioned 3,300 ft from the base of a rocket launching pad. The angle of elevation of the camera has to change at the correct rate in order to keep the rocket in sight. Also, the mechanism for focusing the camera has to take into account the increasing distance from the camera to the rising rocket. Let's assume the rocket rises vertically and its speed is 680 ft/s when it has risen 2,200 ft. If the television camera is always kept aimed at the rocket, how fast is the camera's angle of elevation changing at this moment? Round the result to the nearest thousandth if necessary.
