4. By evaluating the integral - På/2mkT dxdp, h x-0J Px - obtain a partial partition function for the translation of a system in one dimension with the motion limited to the region O< x< L. Hence show that the partition function for translational motion in three dimensions as given in equation 7.28 is given by Z = Z,Z,Z, and that the energy per degree of freedom calculated as kT²{ð log Z„/ƏT}, is kT.
