An ideal gas enclosed in a cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass `M`. The piston and the cylinder have equal cross-sectional area `A`. When the piston is in equilibrium, the volum of the gas is `V_(0)`  and its pressur is `P_(0)`. The pistong is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
