A piston of mass m and cross-sectional area A is in

Chapter 13, Problem 13.32

(choose chapter or problem)

A piston of mass m and cross-sectional area A is in equilibrium under the pressure p at the center of a cylinder closed at both ends. Assuming that the piston is moved to the left a distance a/2 and released, and knowing that the pressure on each side of the piston varies inversely with the volume, determine the velocity of the piston as it again reaches the center of the cylinder. Neglect friction between the piston and the cylinder and express your answer in terms of m, a, p, and A.
