To solve the problem of finding the equivalent specific heat of a composite body formed by two bodies with the same heat capacity, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the heat capacities of the two bodies Let: - Body 1 has mass \( m_1 \) and specific heat \( s_1 \). - Body 2 has mass \( m_2 \) and specific heat \( s_2 \). Since the heat capacities are equal, we have: ...
