In a cylindrical container two pistons enclose gas in two compartments as shown in the figure. The pistons have negligible thickness and can move without friction. The sys- tem is originally in equilibrium. The outer piston is slowly moved out by 10 cm and the inner piston is found to move by 4 cm. Find the distance of the inner piston in equilibrium from the closed end of the cylinder if the outer piston is slowly moved out of the cylinder. Assume temperature of the gas to remain constant.
