A spoon, a fork, and a knife are stacked on top of each other overnight. The temperature of both the fork and spoon is 21°C the next morning. According to thermal equilibrium, what can be predicted about the temperature of the knife? A The temperature of the knife is also 21°C because equilibrium has been reached between all three objects. B The temperature of the knife could only be determined through measurement. C The temperature of the spoon and fork are both conducted to the knife giving it a resulting temperature of 42°C. D The temperature of the knife would be 14°C because the knife represents roughly one thir of the overall mass.

A small metal cube with a thermal mass mc and an initial temperature 0 is dropped into a container of water that is actively maintained at a constant temperature 0w. The cube quickly comes to rest on the bottom surface of the container. The bottom surface is maintained at a constant temperature 0 (note that this is different from 0w).

How thick is the layer of ice that forms at the bottom of the tub of water, after the tub has been left outside for a long time? The tub of water initially has a layer of water of thickness họ = 10 cm. You may assume that the ground and air remain at a constant temperature throughout, and that the side lengths of the tub a, b > ho, i.e. the heat conduction is one- dimensional.
