External Work in displacing a Piston A piston can freely

External Work in displacing a Piston A piston can freely move inside a horizontal cylinder closed from both ends Initially the piston separates the inside space of cylinder in two equal parts each of volume V which are filled with an ideal gas at same pressure Po If temperature of gas in two parts is equal and kept constant find the work required to be done in increasing the volume of one part of gas n times compared to the other part by slowly displacing the piston
