Consider an ideal gas of
\(N\) particles, each of mass \(M\), confined to a one-dimensional
line of length \(L\). The particles have spin zero (so you can ignore
spin) and do not interact with one another. Find the entropy at
temperature \(T\). You may assume that the temperature is high enough
that \(k_B T\) is much greater than the ground state energy of one
particle.
