Problem

A metal sphere of mass, mm, at a temperature of 80 ∘C80\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C} is placed into an equal mass of water at 20 ∘C20\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C} in an insulated container. The specific heat capacity of water is twice that of the metal. After a short time, the metal and the water are at the same temperature. This new temperature is a. 60 ∘C60\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C} . b. 50 ∘C50\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C} . c. 40 ∘C40\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C} . d. 30 ∘C30\text{ }^{\circ}\text{C} .
