Question

Figure shows an adiabatic container which is divided into two equal parts by an adiabatic freely moving piston. Both sides contain same gas having \( \gamma = 1.5 \). If heat is supplied to left part such that its pressure becomes \( \frac{27P_0}{8} \), find volume of right part.

Hint:

In problems with adiabatic piston, always use \( PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \) for the side where no heat is supplied, and remember pressures become equal at equilibrium.
