A cylindrical piston of mass $M$ slides smoothly inside a long cylinder closed at one end, enclosing a certain mass of gas. The cylinder is kept with its axis horizontal. If the piston is disturbed from its equilibrium position, it oscillates simple harmonically. The period of oscillation will be
  • A$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{Mh}}{{PA}}} \right)} $
  • B$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{MA}}{{Ph}}} \right)} $
  • C$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\left( {\frac{M}{{PAh}}} \right)} $
  • D$T = 2\pi \sqrt {MPhA} $
