1. Consider a gas of molecules in thermal equilibrium with temperature T and a number n per area, confined to a 2-D flat surface.
-What is the kinetic energy per area of the gas?
-What is the force per length that these molecules exert on an edge of the surface?
-If there are diatomic molecules, what is the rotational energy per area of the gas? (Assume that each atom of each molecules is confined to a flat surface)
