Like.
You are, of course, presuming that it's the same 'x' states for every particle. But given the context, that assumption is acceptable... -

The particles are indistinguishable - but that doesn't help to explain the use of x^n - in fact, it gives another reason why x^n is not...

lost captain replied to the thread I Entropy and configurations of microstates.Thank you for taking the time to reply, I've been searching online for an answer, there's statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics...

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it...

lost captain reacted to Ibix's post in the thread B Work done in lifting and lowering an object with Like.
During all of the motion work is done on the book by the force, but work is also done with the opposite sign by gravity. So the book...

lost captain reacted to Ibix's post in the thread B Work done in lifting and lowering an object with Like.
That's still useless. Let's set this out sensibly. The book is initially at rest on one shelf and is moved to another shelf in a motion...

lost captain reacted to anuttarasammyak's post in the thread I Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process? with Like.
dP dV is infinitesimal of second order. We can disregard it in calculation.

lost captain posted the thread I Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process? in Thermodynamics.Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and...
