Three copper blocks of masses $M_1, M_2$ and $M_3$ $kg$ respectively are brought into thermal contact until they reach equilibrium. Before contact,they were at temperatures $T_1, T_2, T_3$ $(T_1 > T_3)$. Assuming there is no heat loss to the surroundings,the equilibrium temperature $T$ is ($s$ is the specific heat of copper).
