Answer:
The intensity of light passing from the third polarizer is 3Io/16.
Explanation:
The law of Malus is given by
Let the incident intensity of light is Io.
The intensity of light passing from the first polarizer is
The intensity of light passing from the second polarizer is
The intensity of light passing from the third polarizer is
When the iron and the water reach thermal equilibrium, they have same temperature, 
.
We can consider this as an isolated system, so the heat released by the water is equal to the heat absorbed by the iron.
The hear released by the water is:
where
is the water mass, 
is the specific heat of the water, and 
is the variation of temperature of the water.
Similarly, the heat absorbed by the iron is:
where
is the iron mass, 
is the iron specific heat, and 
is the variation of temperature of the iron.
Writing
and replacing the numbers, we can solve to find mw, the mass of the water:
We can consider this as an isolated system, so the heat released by the water is equal to the heat absorbed by the iron.
The hear released by the water is:
where
Similarly, the heat absorbed by the iron is:
