A vertical closed cylinder is separated into two parts by a frictionless piston of mass m and of negligible thickness. The piston is free to move along the length of the cylinder. The length of the cylinder above piston is 
, and that below the piston is 
, such that 
> 
. Each part of the cylinder contains n moles of an ideal gas at equal temperature T. If the piston is stationary, its mass m will be given by: (R is universal gas constant and g is the acceleration due to gravity)
