    An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass $M$. The piston and the cylinder have equal cross sectional area $A$. When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is $V_0$ and its pressure is $P_ 0$. The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
