A box of volume 2V is divided into halves by a thin partition. The left side contains a perfect gas at pressure p_{0} and the right side is initially vacuum. A small hole of area A is punched in the partition. What is the pressure p_{1} in the left hand side as a function of time? Assume the temperature is constant on both sides. Express your answer in terms of the average velocity v.
