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 is ............ $^{\circ} C$. The specific heat capacities of aluminium and water are $900 \,J \,kg^{-1} K^{-1}$ and $4200 \,J \,kg^{-1} K^{-1}$,respectively.

$5 \ g$ of ice at $-30^{\circ} C$ and $20 \ g$ of water at $35^{\circ} C$ are mixed together in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the mixture is (Neglect heat capacity of the calorimeter,specific heat capacity of ice $= 0.5 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$,and specific heat capacity of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$).
