Homework Statement

A cylindrical beaker is held at rest with its bottom horizontal and inside it, a large number of identical elastic balls are moving up and down continuously colliding with each other and with the bottom. In this way, the balls fill the beaker up to 750 ml mark. At some random moment, the beaker is made to mnove downwards with an acceleration 0.5g. Here g denotes the acceleration due to gravity. What fraction of total number of balls will now fill the beaker up to 1125 ml mark?

Relevant Equations

Probably Boltzmann equation but I have no idea at all.

I think it is just about pressure and density distribution in a gas under gravity. See what you can do with that.
Per forum rules, you must show some attempt.
