Problem 2.1:
Take a system with a multiplicity function such that g(N, U) = 100. What is the entropy of the system, and in what units?
[Solution]
Problem 2.2:
What is the conventional entropy S of the system in the above problem?
[Solution]
Problem 2.3:
Say that we had a system in which adding a small bit of energy actually decreased the entropy. What can you say about the temperature of the system?
[Solution]
Problem 2.4:
Say that in a large system, adding one Joule of energy increases the entropy by 1020. What is the approximate temperature of the system?
[Solution]
Problem 2.5:
What is the temperature in kelvin of the system in the previous problem?
[Solution]
