SSM WWW A box contains N gas molecules, Consider the box to be divided into three equal parts (a) By extension of Eq. 20-20, write a formula for the multiplicity of any given configuration, (b) Consider two configurations: configuration A with equal number of molecules in all three thirds of the box, and configuration B with equal numbers of molecules in each half of the box divided into two equal parts rather then three. What is the ratio WA/WB of the multiplicity of configuration A to that of configuration B? (c) Evaluate WA/WB for N = 100. (Because 100 is not evenly divisible by 3, put 34 molecules into one of the three box parts of configuration A and 33 in each of the other two parts.)
