Why a brass tumbler feels much cooler than a wooden tray on a chilly day?

Brass is a good conductor of heat. When one touches a brass tumbler, heat is conducted from the body to the brass tumbler easily. Hence, the temperature of the body reduces to a lower value and one feels cooler.Wood is a poor conductor of heat. When one touches a wooden tray, very little heat is conducted from the body to the wooden tray. Hence, there is only a negligible drop in the temperature of the body and one does not feel cold. Thus, a brass tumbler feels colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.

Why the brass need to be immersed in the boiling water before place it in the calorimeter?
The brass needs to be immersed in the boiling water for a sufficient enough time that its temperature is the same as the boiling water, 100 degrees Celsius. That will be the initial temperature of the brass. After it is quickly placed in the calorimeter which will contain much cooler water, causing the brass to cool down and the water to heat up until the point where the temperature no longer changes. At that point the temperature of the brass is the same temperature as the water in the calorimeter, which is its final temperature of the brass.
How do you fix a stuck ignition key tumbler on a 1974 corvette?
tumblers are merely brass pins. go to any hardware store & purchase a small tube of graphite lubricant. it is a dry lube - do not use oil as it will make your tumblers gum up over time. simply squirt a small amount of graphite into the lock, then insert and remove the key a few times. if this does not free the tumbler, using a very fine pick or perhaps another key with a different cut, attempt to push the tumbler further into it's hole. once some of the graphite works its way into the hole, the tumbler will pop up like normal.
