A 1500-W hotplate is used to heat up a 1.04kg aluminum pot filled with 1.22kg of water and a 0.855kg lead mass for 5 minutes. If the initial temperature of the system was 72 degrees F, find the final equilibrium temperature. Assume that all the energy of the hot plate goes into the system. (C water = 4180 J/kg*K , C aluminum - 910 J/kg*K, C lead = 160 J/kg*K).
