Question
Two metal objects, A and B, each of mass 60.0 g, are prepared at different temperatures. They are brought into thermal contact and allowed
to reach thermal equilibrium while insulated from the rest of the universe (i.e. no heat exchange). Object A has a specific heat of Cs
= 0.160 J/g-K, and object B has a specific heat of c = 0.200 J/g.K.
(a) If the final temperature (in K) of the system is 320 K (thermal equilibrium), and the initial temperature of object B is 256 K, what is the
initial temperature of object A?
