FIGURE 1.1 The zeroth law of thermodynamics. (a) and ( b) If the temperatures of A and B are measured to be the same
by placing them in thermal contact with a thermometer (ob ject C) , no energy will be exch anged between
them when they are placed in thermal contact with each other (c) .

FIGURE 1.3 A constant-volume gas
thermometer measures the pressure of
the gas contained in the flask immersed
in the bath. The volume of gas in the flask
is kept constant by raising or lowering
reservoir B such that the mercury level in
column A remains constant.

FIGURE 1.7 (a) Thermal expansion joints are used to separate sections of roadways on bridges. Without these joints, the
surfaces would buckle due to thermal expansion on very hot days or crack due to contraction on very cold days. (b) The long, vertical
joint in a wall is filled with a soft material that allows the wall to expand and contract as the temperature of the bricks changes.

the atomic configuration in a solid.
The atoms (spheres) are imagined to
be connected to one another by
springs that reflect the elastic nature
of the interatomic forces.

A molecule makes an elastic
collision with the wall of the
container. Its x component of
momentum is reversed whereas
its y component remains
unchanged. In this construction,
we assume that the molecule
moves in the xy plane.
