An unknown metal of mass $192 \, g$ heated to a temperature of $100 \, ^oC$ was immersed into a brass calorimeter of mass $128 \, g$ containing $240 \, g$ of water at a temperature of $8.4 \, ^oC$. Calculate the specific heat of the unknown metal if the water temperature stabilizes at $21.5 \, ^oC$. (Specific heat of brass is $394 \, J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$, specific heat of water is $4186 \, J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$) ......... $J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$
