A poker is a stiff, nonflammable rod used to push burning logs around in a fireplace. At your disposal are rods made of either Brass or Silicon. Based on the heat capacity, which would you choose to keep from burning your hand while one end is in the fire? (Brass k = 0.40 kJ/kg K, Silicon k = 0.71 kJ/kg K) Explain your reasoning
