Could Dr. benjmin be lifted 20 cm above the floor by the thermal energy of the floor overcoming the gravitational force? Assume Dr. Guliaev’ weight is 200 lb, the temperature of the room is 298K and the temperature of the floor doesn’t change in this process. a. Would this process violate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics? b. Can you calculate the probability of this event? (Consider entropy and W. Energy is need for the lift is E=mgh)

Entropy

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its molecules are in random motion, vibrating and colliding with each other. During this scenario, the probability of finding a molecule at a particular place twice, is low. Under this circumstance, the system can be said to be in a high entropy.
