A rectangular steel block has dimensions 10 cm \(\times\) 8 cm \(\times\) 5 cm. Its density is \(7800 \text{ kg m}^{-3}\) and its specific heat capacity is \(470 \text{ J kg}^{-1}\!\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}^{-1}\). A heating coil supplies \(5000 \text{ J}\) of energy, but 20% of this energy is lost to the surroundings. If the block starts at \(20^{\circ}\!\text{C}\), what is its final temperature (to one decimal place)?
