There are N point particles in a volume V. Find the mean distance between particles.


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

There are N point particles in a volume V. Find an equation for the mean spacing between the particles.

3. The attempt at a solution

distance = (V^1/3)/N would be my first guess?

Maybe you could test your guess with a Monte Carlo simulation.
