Consider a gas enclosed in a box. Let the walls have an area of 0.01m2. Let’s say a few molecules having their x-component of velocity =2m/s, hit a wall parallel to the yz plane. What will be the value of force on the wall in time dt? Let the number of molecules per unit volume be 10 & mass of each molecule be 10-20kg. a) 4*10-19N b) 4*10-21N c) 4/3*10-21N d) 4/3*10-19N
