%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \sect{One dimensional hard sphere gas} ${N}$ spheres with diameter ${a}$ are threaded over a wire of length ${L}$. Assume ${N\gg1}$ but ${Na \ll L}$. The system is in thermic equilibrium, temperature ${T}$. Find the force ${F}$ that operates on the edges of the wire. Write the result in the shape ${F=NT/L_{eff}$. Express ${L_{eff}}$ using the data and explain it's physical meaning. Hints: \begin {itemize} \item[(a)] While calculating the distribution function, notice that if the beads permutation were permitted, it was causing ${Z\rightarrow N!Z}$. \item[(b)] Assume that a typical distance between two beads is much bigger than ${a}$. \item[(c)] To calculate a product ${A=\prod_{n=1}^{N}a_{n}}$ look at the sum ${\ln A}$, and use reasonable approximations. \end {itemize} %%begin{figure} \putgraph{Ex501} %%\caption{}\label{} %%end{figure}
