Solution
b and d
Explanation:
Two bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium with each other when no heat flows from one body to the other. That is when both bodies are at the same temperature.
According to the problem,
b. If two systems X and Y are in thermal equilibrium, i.e., Tx = Ty, and x is not in thermal equilibrium with z, .ie, Tx ≠ Tz then clearly, Ty ≠ Tz. Hence, y and z are not in thermal equilibrium.
d. If X is not in thermal equilibrium with Y, i.e, Tx ≠ Ty and also X is not in thermal equilibrium with Y, i.e., Tx ≠ Tz. Then we cannot say about the equilibrium of Y and Z, they may or may not be in equilibrium.

A metal block of heat capacity 80 J°C−1 placed in a room at 20°C is heated electrically. The heater is switched off when the temperature reaches 30°C. The temperature of the block rises at the rate of 2°C s−1 just after the heater is switched on and falls at the rate of 0.2°C s−1 just after the heater is switched off. Assume Newton's law of cooling to hold.
- Find the power of the heater.
- Find the power radiated by the block just after the heater is switched off.
- Find the power radiated by the block when the temperature of the block is 25°C.
- Assuming that the power radiated at 25°C represents the average value in the heating process, find the time for which the heater was kept on.
