What is the Correct Hamiltonian for an Isolated Gas and Piston System?

[luisgml_2000]

Homework Statement

A system is contained within the walls of a box and a movable piston. An object weighing W is placed on the piston. If you regard the gas and the piston as an isolated system, use the microcanonical ensemble to deduce the equation of state for p (pressure). Take a look at the picture.

Homework Equations

$$\mathcal{H}=\frac{1}{2m}\sum p_i^2 + Wx$$

$$\Omega=V^{n}\int_{\mathcal{H} <E}dx d^{3N}p$$

$$S=klog\Omega$$

$$p/V=\frac{\partial S}{\partial V}$$

The Attempt at a Solution

The only thing I need to solve this problem is to write down the hamiltonian of this system. I'd like to know if the expression that I have written is correct; in that case, I don't know how to evaluate the integral for the number of microstates.

thanks!

I'm sure that the hamiltonian of this system is as written above. Do you have any ideas for solving the integral for [tex] \Omega[\tex]?
