ocr: supposed probiem with tnermoaynamics was once proposed. f a box with two partitions separated by a spring loaded sliding door started with a sample of gas in the left compartment the system would have a certain level of entropy. If a small emon then let only the fast moving nolecules through, the net work put into the system would be zero because the door was spring oaded. The entropy of the system would decrease pecause the system would be more prdered but this should be impossible asno heat exchange accurs andno work is done.
