Problem 3P
Below Figure shows graphs of entropy vs. energy for two objects, A and B. Both graphs are on the same scale. The energies of these two objects initially have the values indicated; the objects are then brought into thermal contact with each other. Explain what happens subsequently and why, without using the word “temperature.”

ANSWER:
ANSWER:
Step 1:
We know the very fundamental definition of entropy, which is,
----------------------(1)
The inverse of temperature is the rate of change of entropy w.r.t internal energy.
This is true when there is no work done on or by the system.
