G = - k_{B} T lo g Z = - n k_{B} T lo g (2 cosh (τ a)) .

Differentiation with respect to the parameter conjugate to extension gives

\frac{\partial G}{\partial τ} = - n k_{B} T a tanh (τ a) .

The same result follows directly from the expected value under

p_{i} = e^{τ l_{i}} / Z

L = \sum_{i} p_{i} l_{i} = \frac{1}{Z} \frac{\partial Z}{\partial τ} = \frac{\partial l o g Z}{\partial τ} .

Consequently

L = - \frac{1}{k _{B} T} \frac{\partial G}{\partial τ}, tanh (τ a) = \frac{L}{na} .
