To derive the relationship between the oscillation frequency \( f \) and the relevant variables in this system, we start by analyzing the forces acting on the metal ball when it is displaced from its equilibrium position.

Step 1: **Identify Forces**
The forces acting on the metal ball include the weight of the ball \( Mg \) acting downwards and the force due to the pressure difference in the gas. The pressure inside the jar is slightly greater than atmospheric pressure due to the weight of the ball, creating a net upward force.

Step 2: **Simple Harmonic Motion**
When the ball is displaced downward by a small distance \( x \), the change in force creates an oscillatory motion. The net upward force can be approximated using:
\[ F = A (P - P_0) \]
where \( P \) is the pressure in the jar and \( P_0 \) is the atmospheric pressure. In equilibrium, \( P \) can be expressed as:
\[ P = P_0 + \frac{Mg}{A} \]
When the ball is displaced, the change in pressure can be represented as:
\[ \Delta P = -\frac{dF}{dx} \]
Equating forces gives:
\[ F = -kx \]
where \( k = \frac{A \Delta P}{x} \).

Step 3: **Pressure-Volume Relationship**
Since the gas undergoes a quasistatic adiabatic process, we can use the relation:
\[ PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \]
To find the frequency in terms of the variables, we relate the angular frequency \( \omega \) of the simple harmonic motion:
\[ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \]
Here, from gas laws, we have \( k \) proportional to the pressure change per volume or \( k \propto \frac{P}{V} \). Hence, the frequency can be concluded to depend on:
\[ f = \sqrt{\frac{A (P - P_0)}{M}} \propto \left(\frac{\Delta P}{M} \right)^{1/2} \]

Therefore, after combining the above relations, we derive the final relation:
\[ f \propto \left(\frac{P}{MV} \right)^{1/2} \]
This demonstrates the relationship between the oscillation frequency \( f \) and the given variables, concluding that the oscillation frequency is proportional to the change in pressure divided by mass and volume as derived.
