This seems a simple problem, but managed to confuse me and my friends a bit, it's definitely not a standard problem from the text-books.
Regard a particle of mass m in a 1 dimensional box of length L (which can be seen as a infinitely deep potential well). What is the 'pressure force' on the wall? (please forgive me my vagueness, I translated this question from chinese).
Thanks for your help!
