Two vertical cylinders are connected by a small tube at the bottom. It contains a gas at constant temperature . Initially the pistons are located at the same height. The diameters of the two cylinders are different . Outside the cylinder the space is vaccum . Gravitational acceleration is h , h_(0) = 20cm , m_(1) = 2kg "and" m_(2) =1kg . The pistons are initially in equilibrium. If the masses of the piston are interchanged find the separation between the two pistons when they are again in equilibrium. Assume constant temperature .
