Problem 3: Chemical potential of an Einstein solid. Consider an Einstein solid for which both N and q are much greater than 1. Think of each ocillator as a separate “particle". a) Show that the chemical potential is H = -kT In (**e) b) Discuss this result in the limits N » q and N « q, concentrating on the question of how much S increases when another particle carrying no energy is added to the system. Does the formula make intuitive sense?
Before we introduced the Friedmann equation, we gained some intuition with a Newtonian example of an expanding sphere of uniform density that feels its own gravity.  Suppose the sphere is currently static; it has expanded to its maximum size and is about to recollapse.  Given that its total energy per mass is U, and its density is currently \rhoρ, what is its current size? Write your answer in meters, using one decimal place.   Values: U = -82 J/kg \rhoρ = 545 x 105 kg/m3   Please show work as I have trouble following along
