Answer:
b) TA = TB = TC
Explanation:
- When put in contact each other, and isolated, both blocks will exchange heat till they reach to thermal equilibrium.
- During this process, the body at a higher temperature, will loss heat, tat it will be gained by the other body.
- The equilibrium condition will be reached when the following equation be met:
- Replacing by the values of T₀A = 300º C, and T₀B = 400ºC, and simplifying common terms as mA = mB, we can solve for Tfin, as follows:
- So, when both blocks reach to equilibrium, they will be at a common final temperature, 350ºC.
- When put in contact with block C, at the same temperature, at that instant, the three blocks will have the same common temperature of 350 ºC.
- So, option b) is the right one.
