Answer is given below

Explanation:

First we put the known mass of water in the calorimeter and than measure temperature. Heat that metallic sample to boiling water at 100°C. now that hot metal sample we will put into calorimeter and than wait for it till the water get at its constant stabilizes temperature. finally we measure temperature of water. we consider no heat around there and now calculate specific heat of the metal by equating the amount of heat lost by the metal to the amount of heat lost by the water.
