Homework Statement
Show that the total weight w of an assembly in thermal equilibrium is a maximum.
Homework Equations
S= k ln W?
dS = dQ/ T ?
S is maximize when thermal equilibrium is reached.
The Attempt at a Solution
First of all, i don't know what does "total weight w" means.
Dose it means the number of ways W that a total of N particles can be classified into energy levels?
I think that I have to establish a equation W = f(S) and use differentiation to prove that it is a maximum.
However, i have no clue to start my work.
Can someone give me some clues so that i can start my work? Thank you.
