A vessel of volume $V_0$ contains an ideal gas at pressure $P_0$ and temperature T. Gas is continuously pumped out of this vessel at a constant volume-rate dV I dt = r keeping the temperature constant. The pressure of the gas being taken out equals the pressure inside the vessel. Find, (1) the pressure of the gas as a function of time. (2) the time taken before half the original gas is pumped out.
