If an oxygen molecule traveling at the rms speed bounces back and forth between opposite sides of a cubical vessel of 0.10 m on
a side, what is the average force the molecule exerts on one of the walls of the container? Assume the molecule’s velocity is perpendicular to the walls it hits.

Explanation:
The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,
Where
Mass flow
Specific Enthalpy (IN)
Specific Enthalpy (OUT)
Gravity
Heigth state (In, OUT)
Velocity (In, Out)
Our values are given by,
For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then
Then we have that our equation now is,
