Chapter 20, Problem 71P

To determine

To Find:

For $\mathit{N}=50$

a) The multiplicity $W_A$ of configuration $A$.

b) The multiplicity $W_B$ of configuration $B$

c) The ratio $f_{B/A}$ of the time the system spends in configuration $B$ to the time it spends in configuration $A$.

For $\mathit{N}=100$

d) The multiplicity $W_A$ of configuration $A$.

e) The multiplicity $W_B$ of configuration $B.$

f) The ratio $f_{B/A}$ of the time the system spends in configuration $B$ to the time it spends in configuration $A.$

For $\mathit{N}=200$

g) The multiplicity $W_A$ of configuration $A$.

h) The multiplicity $W_B$ of configuration $B.$

i) The ratio $f_{B/A}$ of the time the system spends in configuration $B$ to the time it spends in configuration $A.$

j) With increasing $N$, does $f$ increase, decrease, or remain the same?
