Pressure of Fermi gas at Absolute zero
Not what you're looking for?
Show that the pressure exerted by a Fermi gas at absolute zero is
p = (2NEf)/(5V)
where N is the total number of particles, Ef the fermi energy and V is the volume.
((If you need to use the relation for the mean energy <E> of particles obeying Fermi-Dirac statistics at absolute zero temperature, you can just quote it's <E> = 3Ef/5 I derived it earlier in this problem, so you don't have to derive it again))
