A metal cylinder of 20 g is heated to a steady temperature of 100°C and then dropped into a calorimeter of mass 50 g containing 70 g of water of 20°C. After stirring, the highest steady temperature of the mixture is observed to be 23°C. Write the value of specific heat capacity of the metal of the cylinder to the nearest integer(in  J kg-1 K-1).

(specific heat capacity of water =4200 J kg-1 K-1, specific heat capacity of calorimeter (copper) =400 J kg-1 K-1).
