An ice chest at a beach party contains 48 cans of soda at 9 °C. Each can of soda has a mass of 0.35 kg and a specific heat capacity of 3800 J/(kg C°). Someone adds a 14.25-kg watermelon at 27 °C to the chest. The specific heat capacity of watermelon is approximately the same as that of water. Ignore the specific heat capacity of the chest and determine the final temperature T of the soda and watermelon in degrees Celsius.
