An engineer is testing an experimental copper-alloy heat sink designed for high-performance computing.
The temperature of the copper block is monitored using a digital thermocouple reader. The digital screen displays temperature values to one decimal place, such as 23.4∘C23.4^\circ\text{C}23.4∘C. What is the resolution of this temperature reader?
To ensure minimal heat loss to the surroundings during testing, the copper block is wrapped in a lightweight aerogel insulation jacket. The total combined mass of the copper block and the insulation jacket is measured as 0.845 kg0.845\text{ kg}0.845 kg. The mass of the copper block alone is 0.750 kg0.750\text{ kg}0.750 kg. Calculate the mass of the aerogel insulation jacket.
During the thermal test:
Calculate the specific heat capacity of the copper alloy from these experimental results. State the correct unit from the following options: J/kg\text{J/kg}J/kg, J/kg∘C\text{J/kg}^\circ\text{C}J/kg∘C, or J/∘C\text{J/}^\circ\text{C}J/∘C.
