A machinist calculates a temperature rise in a copper fitting and needs a property of copper. That property is its:
ASpecific gravity
BSpectral line
CSurface finish
DSpecific heat
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Specific heat
1. Energy went in and temperature went up.
2. The link between the two depends on the material.
3. That material property is the specific heat.
