4.41 Ideal Gas in One-Dimensional Potential
(Rutgers)
a) An ideal gas of particles, each of mass m at temperature 7, is sub-
jected to an external force whose potential energy has the form
U(2) = Ar"
with 0 < * < , A > 0, and n > 0. Find the average potential
energy per particle.
b) What is the average potential energy per particle in a gas in a uniform
gravitational field?
