Let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule now have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still z axis that is perpendicular to the xy plane. The first atom has a mass of 142.54 kg, with x coordinate at 3 m and y coordinate at 6 m. The second atom has a mass of 82.55 kg, with x coordinate at 1 m and y coordinate at 6 m. The third atom has a mass of 8 kg, with x coordinate at 5 m and y coordinate at 9 m. What is the moment of inertia in unit of kg m2 with respect to the x axis?

Consider two immiscible liquids such as water and oil. If a spherical oil molecule of radius r is taken out of the oil phase and placed in the water phase, the unfavorable energy of this transfer is proportional to the area of the solute (oil) molecule newly exposed to the solvent (water) multiplied by the interfacial energy, i, of the oil-water interface. The interfacial energy of the bulk cyclohexane-water interface is i = 50 mJ m-2, and the radius of a cyclohexane molecule is 0.28 nm. Using Boltzmann distribution, estimate the solubility of cyclohexane in water at 25 C in units of mol L-1.The concentration of water in water phase is 55.5 mol L-1.

A spherical glass particle (SG = 2.8) is allowed to settle freely in water.

Although an ordinary H2 molecule consists of two identical atoms, this is not the case for the molecule HD, with one atom of deuterium (Le., heavy hydrogen, 2H). Because of its small moment of inertia, the HD molecule has a relatively large value of E: 0.0057 eV. At approximately what temperature would you expect the rotational heat capacity of a gas of HD molecules to "freeze out," that is, to fall significantly below the constant value predicted by the equipartition theorem?

Use a computer to reproduce the table and graph in Figure 2.4: two Einstein solids, each containing three harmonic oscillators, with a total of six units of energy. Then modify the table and graph to show the case where one Einstein solid contains six harmonic oscillators and the other contains four harmonic oscillators (with the total number of energy units still equal to six). Assuming that all microstates are equally likely, what is the most probable macrostate, and what is its probability? What is the least probable macrostate, and what is its probability?
To give a helium atom nonzero angular momentum requires about 21.2 eV of energy (that is, 21.2 eV is the difference between the energies of the lowest-energy or ground state and the lowest-energy state with angular momentum). The electron-volt or eV is defined as 1.60 × 10−19 J. Find the temperature T where this amount of energy equals kB T/2. Does this explain why we can ignore the rotational energy of helium for most purposes? (The results for other monatomic gases, and for diatomic gases rotating around the axis connecting the two atoms, have comparable orders of magnitude.)

Consider a symmetrical U-shaped tube, of circular section and internal diameter d<<R, containing an incompressible liquid of density ρ. Before starting the rotation of the system, the system is in equilibrium, where the rotating branch has an initial height of fluid equal to L, while at the other end of the tube there is a chamber of height h and filled with a gas at initial pressure P0. The top cap of the chamber is attached to the tube. However, the bottom cap can be moved vertically acting as a “piston”, as shown in the diagram. Both the mass of the lower lid and that of the gas contained in the chamber are negligible.Suddenly the tube begins to rotate at constant angular velocity ω. About: For the initial instant find a relationship between the pressure P0 of the gas, the height h, the properties fluid physics and Patm.
