12. A mercury thermometer with initial temperature 10°C and mass 10 grams is placed into contact with a block of pure water ice with temperature -5°C and mass 10 kg. Compute the temperature that the thermometer will indicate after it has come into thermal equilibrium with the ice. (Note: Assume the thermometer is made of liq- uid mercury, which has a specific heat of about 138 J/(kg K).)
