The correct Answer is:
4R from O
`y_(cm) = ({rho(pi(2R)^(2))/(3) xx 4R} xx R + {12rho xx (4)/(3)piR^(3)} xx 5R)/({rho(pi(2R)^(2))/(3) xx 4R} + {12rho xx (4)/(3)pi4R^(3)}) = 4R`

A fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius R and height L_0 . The cylinder is open at its bottom and has a small hole at its top. A piston of mass M is held at a distance L from the top surface, as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is P_0 . While the piston is at a distance 2L from the top, the hole at the top is sealed. The piston is then released, to a position where it can stay in equilibrium. In this condition, the distance of the piston from the top is
