The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length L are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area A . The left and right compartments are filled with 3 2 and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant k and natural length 2 L 5 . In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance L 2 from the
