$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves in the potential energy $U(x)$ shown in the figure. The potential energy is given by $U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$ for $x < 0$ and $U = mgx$ for $x > 0$. The period of the motion when the particle has total energy $E$ is

An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical 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 volume of the gas is $V_0$ and its pressure is $P_0$. The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surroundings, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
