Concept explainers
Whether the same principle of thermal equilibrium hold true when rock is dropped in large lake.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:When a hot rock is dropped into a pail of water then the temperature of the rock drops and water warms up because both objects try to maintain thermal equilibrium. Thus, hot rock transfers its heat to the cool water until both achieve the same temperature.
When a hot rock is dropped in a lake of water, then due to thermal
Conclusion: Thus, yes, heat exchange will occur but effects will be negligible.
