that melts to water and warms to the temperature of the atmosphere at
?
Latent heat of fusion for water:
Specific heat of water:
Specific heat of ice:
A steel sword is cooled from
to
by dipping it in

If the specific heat of the steel is and the specific heat of water is
, what will be the temperature of the water after the steel is cooled?
A steel beam is long at a temperature of
. On a hot day, the temperature reaches
