An ideal monoatomic gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $2\, V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. If the same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2\,V$, the final pressure is $P_a$ . The ratio $\frac{{{P_a}}}{{{P_i}}}$ is

Figure shows a cylindrical adiabatic container of total volume $2V_0$ divided into two equal parts by a conducting piston (which is free to move). Each part containing identical gas at pressure $P_0$ . Initially temperature of left and right part is $4T_0$ and $T_0$ respectively. An external force is applied on the piston to keep the piston at rest. Find the value of external force required when thermal equilibrium is reached. ( $A =$ Area of piston)
