8PRACTICE PROBLEM
A 0.15m long cube filled with nitrogen (N2, molar mass 28.01 g/mol) at a rms velocity of 524m/s. Imagine a molecule repeatedly moving between the left and right faces, then determine the average force exerted on one of the cube's faces. Take the motion to be perpendicular to the left and right faces.
