Physics · Thermal Properties of Matter
Three blocks of the same material (e.g., copper) having masses M1, M2, and M3 are brought into thermal contact inside an isolated system until they reach thermal equilibrium. Before contact, their initial temperatures were T1, T2, and T3 respectively. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, what is the final equilibrium temperature T of the system?
- 1T = M1 + M2 + M3M1T1 + M2T2 + M3T3
- 2T = M1T1 + M2T2 + M3T33(M1 + M2 + M3)
- 3T = M1T1 + M2T2 + M3T3M1 + M2 + M3✓
- 4T = T1 + T2 + T33
Correct answer
T = M1T1 + M2T2 + M3T3M1 + M2 + M3
