A metal piece heated to θ_1,M=1000∘C with a mass of M_M=6.5 kg was cooled in a completely heat-insulated iron container filled with water. The mass of the water in the container is M_W=10 kg and the mass of the container is M_B=2 kg. The initial temperatures of the water and the container were the same and amounted to θ_1,W=10∘C. After complete thermal equilibrium between the immersed metal piece, the water, and the container, a temperature of θ2=80∘C was established.
What is the average specific heat capacity of the metal piece cc in the temperature range between 80∘C and 1000∘C?

Input the result in kJ/(kg*K), round to 3 decimal numbers sperated by a point (example: 0.136).
