$A$ $100 \, g$ of iron nail is hit by a $1.5 \, kg$ hammer striking at a velocity of $60 \, ms^{-1}$. What will be the rise in the temperature of the nail in $^{\circ}C$ if one-fourth of the energy of the hammer goes into heating the nail? [Specific heat capacity of iron $= 0.42 \, Jg^{-1} {}^{\circ}C^{-1}$]
