A 299 g silver figure of a polar bear is dropped into the 211 g aluminum cup of a well‑insulated calorimeter containing 259 g of liquid water at 21.5∘C. The bear's initial temperature is 96.5∘C. What is the final temperature of the water, cup, and bear when they reach thermal equilibrium? The specific heats of silver, aluminum, and liquid water are, respectively, 234 J/(kg·K), 910 J/(kg·K), and 4190 J/(kg·K).
