⟩ At a constant temp. volume is inversly proportional to pressure. This is Boyles law. But, when u give pressure to a football, how the volume also increases?

Boyle's law states that" at a constant temperature the

volume of a GIVEN MASS of gas is inversely proportional to

the applied pressure.

This indicates not only the temp, but the mass must be

contstant.

But, when u apply pressure to a football, u r suplying air;

in fact u r not keeping the mass constant.

Hence Boyle's law can't be applied to this case.

Of course, when u supply only pressure from out side but

not air, definitely the volume will decrease.
