Paragraph:
$P_{14-16}$ : Paragraph for Questions Nos. 14 to 16 A fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius $R$ and height $L_0$. The cylinder is open at its bottom and has a small hole at its top. A piston of mass $M$ is held at a distance $L$ from the top surface as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is $p_0$.
Question:
The piston is now pulled out slowly and held at a distance $2 L$ from the top. The pressure in the cylinder between its top and the piston will then be

Options:
  • A
    $p_0$
  • B
    $\frac{p_0}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{p_0}{2}+\frac{M g}{\pi R^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{p_0}{2}-\frac{M g}{\pi R^2}$

The correct answer is:
$p_0$
Since it is open from top, pressure will be $p_0$. $\therefore$ Option (a) is correct.
