    An iron rod of heat capacity $C$ is heated to temperature $8T_0$ . It is then put in a cylindrical vessel of adiabatic walls having two moles of air which can be treated as diatomic ideal gas at temperature $T_0$ and closed by a movable piston which is also adiabatic. The atmospheric pressure is $P_0$ .  The cylinder with the piston combined have heat capacity $2C$ . Find the equilibrium temperature . (Assume temperature of air to be uniform and equal to vessel at all times) .
