A cylindrical adiabatic container of total volume 2V 0 divided into two equal parts by a conducting piston which is free to move as shown in figure. Each part containing identical gas at pressure pq. Initially temperature of left and right part is 4To and T 0 respectively. An external force is applied on the piston of area 'A' to keep the piston at rest. The value of external force required when thermal equilibrium is reached is.
