$A$ metal block is made from a mixture of $2.4 \ kg$ of aluminium,$1.6 \ kg$ of brass,and $0.8 \ kg$ of copper. The metal block is initially at $20^{\circ} C$. If the heat supplied to the metal block is $44.4 \ cal$,find the final temperature of the block if the specific heats of aluminium,brass,and copper are $0.216, 0.0917, 0.0931 \ cal \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ respectively.
