Question: Develop a kinetic argument to show that in a noninteracting system the average value of the quantity (sum_{i} p_{i} dot{q}_{i}) is precisely equal to (3

Develop a kinetic argument to show that in a noninteracting system the average value of the quantity \(\sum_{i} p_{i} \dot{q}_{i}\) is precisely equal to \(3 P V\). Hence show that, regardless of relativistic considerations, \(P V=N k T\).
