Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression is x>55 and 55 isn't included
The heat released or absorbed by a substance is calculated through the equation,
H = mcpdT
where H is teh heat,
m is the mass,
Cp is the specific heat, and
dT is the temperature difference
In this item, since both nails are identical, m and cp for both nails are equal such that the equation can be expressed as,
mcp(95 - x) = mcp(x - 15)
where x is the final temperature. Solving for the value of x from the equation derived above will give us a final answer of 55 degrees C.
Answer: 55°
