A piece of metal of mass 112 g is heated...

A piece of metal of mass `112 g` is heated to `100^@ C` and dropped into a copper calorimeter of mass `40 g` containing `200 g` of water at `16^@ C`. Neglecting heat loss, the specific heat of the metal is nearly, if the equilibrium temperature reached is `24^@ C`.
`(S_(cu) = 0.1 cal//g-.^(@) C)`.
