A sphere of \(0.047\) kg aluminium is placed for sufficient time in a vessel containing boiling water so that the sphere is at \(100^{\circ}\text{C}\). It is then immediately transferred to a \(0.14\) kg copper calorimeter containing \(0.25\) kg water at \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\). The temperature of water rises and attains a steady-state at \(23^{\circ}\text{C}\). The specific heat capacity of aluminium is:

What is the temperature of the steel-copper junction in the steady-state of the system shown in the figure? The length of the steel rod = \(15.0\) cm, length of the copper rod = \(10.0\) cm, temperature of the furnace = \(300^{\circ}\text{C}\), temperature of the other end = \(0^{\circ}\text{C}\).
