Consider the thermodynamic description of stretching rubber. The observables are the tension, t, and length, l (the analogues of p and V for gases). Because dw = tdl, the basic equation is dU = TdS + tdl. (The term pdV is supposed negligible throughout.) If G = U TS tl, find expressions for dG and dA, and deduce the Maxwell relations T = l T = t Go on to deduce the equation of state for rubber, T = t l
