An ideal gas at NTP is enclosed in an adiabatic vertical cylinder having area of cross section A=27 cm^2, between two light movable pistons as shown in the figure. Spring with force constant k = 3700 N/m is in a relaxed state initially. Now the lower piston is moved upwards a height h/2, h being the initial length of gas column. It is observed that the upper piston moves up by a distance h/16. Find h taking gammafor the gas to be 1.5. Also find the final temperature of the gas.

1.	An ideal gas at NTP is enclosed in an adiabatic vertical cylinder having area of cross section A=27 cm^2, between two light movable pistons as shown in the figure. Spring with force constant k = 3700 N/m is in a relaxed state initially. Now the lower piston is moved upwards a height h/2, h being the initial length of gas column. It is observed that the upper piston moves up by a distance h/16. Find h taking gammafor the gas to be 1.5. Also find the final temperature of the gas.
