A box contains N molecules. Consider two configurations: configuration A with an equal division of the molecules between the two halves of the box, and configuration B with 60.0% of the molecules in the left half of the box and 40.0% in the right half.For N 50,what are (a) the multiplicity WA of configuration A,(b) the multiplicity WB of configuration B,and (c) the ratio fB/A of the time the system spends in configuration B to the time it spends in con- figuration A? For N 100, what are (d) WA, (e) WB, and (f) fB/A? For N 200, what are (g) WA, (h) WB, and (i) fB/A? (j) With in- creasing N,does f increase,decrease,or remain the same?
