A cooler bag at a beach party contains 12 cans of fizzy drinks at 5.0 °C. Each can has a mass of 0.35 kg and a specific heat capacity of 3800 J/(kg.K). Someone adds a 6.5-kg watermelon at 27 °C to the bag. The specific heat capacity of watermelon is nearly the same as that of water, i.e. 4186 J/(kg.K). Ignore the little heat lost to the cooler bag and the environment. Calculate the final temperature T of the fizzy drinks and watermelon

Question

A cooler bag at a beach party contains 12 cans of fizzy drinks at 5.0 °C. Each can has a mass of 0.35 kg and a
specific heat capacity of 3800 J/(kg.K). Someone adds a 6.5-kg watermelon at 27 °C to the bag. The specific heat
capacity of watermelon is nearly the same as that of water, i.e. 4186 J/(kg.K). Ignore the little heat lost to the
cooler bag and the environment. Calculate the final temperature T of the fizzy drinks and watermelon.
