Question:medium
Two bodies of same mass having temperature $T_1$ and $T_2$ place kept contact. Specific heat capacity of bodies are s and 1.2s respectively. find equilibrium temperature.
Two bodies of same mass having temperature $T_1$ and $T_2$ place kept contact. Specific heat capacity of bodies are s and 1.2s respectively. find equilibrium temperature.
Show Hint
The equilibrium temperature is a weighted average: $T_{eq} = \frac{m_1s_1T_1 + m_2s_2T_2}{m_1s_1 + m_2s_2}$. If masses are equal, it simplifies to $\frac{s_1T_1 + s_2T_2}{s_1 + s_2}$.
