Question

Thomas Brown ask that A cylindirical container hold an ideal gas and fitted with a piston of mass m. radius of cylinder is r and system is in equilibrium at a height h. Assume P₀ is outside pressure. a) what is the absolute pressure of gas trapped under piston. b) İf you move piston a small amount x, show that it does small oscillations and find the radial frequency for it. Comment on what happens if you pull piston too much, is motion still SHM?
