The following figure shows an adiabatic cylindrical container of volume $V_0$ divided by an adiabatic smooth piston (area of cross-section = $A$) into two equal parts. An ideal gas $(C_P/C_V = \gamma)$ is at pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ in the left part,and a gas at pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$ is in the right part. The piston is slowly displaced and released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. The final pressure of the two parts will be (Suppose $x$ = displacement of the piston):
