The equation of the thermal equilibrium in this case is:
cama(Ta−T0)+cimi(Ti−T0)=cwmw(T0−Tw) where ca=0.9J/g/C,ci=0.45J/g/C,cw=4.2J/g/C are the specific heat capacities of the corresponding materials, ma=100g,mi=150g,mw=80g are the masses, and Ta=120°C,Ti=90°C,Tw=15°C are the initial temperatures. T0 is the final temperature. Expressing T0, obtain:
T0=cama+cimi+cwmwcamaTa+cimiTi+cwmwTw Substituting numbers, get:
T0=0.9⋅100+0.45⋅150+80⋅4.20.9⋅100⋅120+0.45⋅150⋅90+80⋅4.2⋅15≈44°C
Answer. 44°C.
