A system consists of N very weakly interacting particles at a temperature T sufficiently high so that classical statistical mechanics is applicable. Each particle has a mass m and is free to perform one-dimensional oscillations about its equilibrium position. Calculate the heat capacity of this system of particles at this temperature in each of the following cases:
