let's assume I have 2 systems A and B. the surface that describes when the 2 systems are in equilibrium is given by F(a1,a1,...,b1,b2,...) = 0.
assuming we can write this surface as A(a1,a2,..)=B(b1,b2,...) why do A and B describes the temperature function of the systems?
in class, we defined the temperature of a system by the value of some coordinate c1 of some system c, when the other coordinates c2,... were determined, when the system is in equilibrium with c.
so for some system A ,I would get some function T1 = c1(a1,a2,...,c2,...) = c1(a1,a2,...)
and from the equilibrium with system B, I would get T2 = A(a1,a2,...)
how do I know T1 is the same as T2? it doesn't even seem to relate
the motive for asking this question was an exercise where some surface f=0 that describes equilibrium between A and B was given, and the goal was
to find the temperature functions of A and B only from the connection f=0.
