Solution Summary

Specific heat for metal = s cal/gm/degree C,
Hence, Heat energy per unit mass is (T1f - T1i)*s1 = (T2f - T2i)*s2 where, T represents temperature, and i and f stand for initial and final .

1) Let specific heat for metal = s cal/gm/degree C
Hence, Heat energy per unit mass:
(T1f - T1i)*s1 = ...
