4.1 Understanding thermal equilibrium
--- after some very hot soup is poured into
a bowl, a
person may able to carry the bowl with
bare
hands
--- but if wait longer, the bowl and hot
soup will
reach thermal equilibrium
--- the bowl is at higher temperature (may
have to
use a piece of cloth to carry the bowl
then)
