In the cylinder shown in the figure, air is enclosed under the piston. Piston mass cross sectional area of the cylinder atmospheric pressure The air temperature is constant, the friction is negligible.


In a cylindrical container of sufficiently large height, two easily moving pistons enclose certain amount of same ideal gas in two chambers as shown in the figure.
The upper piston is at a height from the bottom and lower piston is at a height from the bottom. The mass of each piston is and cross sectional area of each piston is where and is the atmospheric pressure
The cylindrical container and pistons are made of conducting material. Initially the temperature of gas is and whole system is in equilibrium. Now if the upper piston is slowly lifted by and held in that position with the help of some external force. As a result, the lower piston rises slowly by
