Physics · Secondary 4 · Hard · Specific heat capacity

A 0.040 kg metal block at 120

^\circ\text{C}

is placed in 0.20 kg of water at 20

^\circ\text{C}

in an insulated container. The final temperature is 24

^\circ\text{C}

. Take the specific heat capacity of water as

4200\,\text{J/(kg K)}

. Assuming no heat loss to surroundings, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
