An aluminium piece of mass $50 \,g$ initially at $300^{\circ} C$ is dipped quickly and taken out of $1 \,kg$ of water, initially at $30^{\circ} C$. If the temperature of the aluminium piece immediately after being taken out of the water is found to be $160^{\circ} C$, the temperature of the water ............ $^{\circ} C$ Then, specific heat capacities of aluminium and water are $900 \,Jkg ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ and $4200 \,Jkg ^{-1} K ^{-1}$, respectively.
