 <span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir. 
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h) 

For this engine: 
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66% 

The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e. 
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 % 

On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir: 
η = W/Q_h 

So the heat required from hot reservoir is: 
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>

How long will it take an object to hit the ground if it is dropped from a hight of 176.4 meters ​
Oliga [24]

There's a short handy formula for that.

If the object is just dropped and not tossed, and it's not affected by air resistance on the way down, then the distance it falls in T seconds is

D = (1/2) (gravity) (T²)

For this problem . . .

176.4 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (T²)

Divide each side by  (4.9 m/s²) :

T² = (176.4 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

T² = (36 s²)

Take the square root of each side:

<em>T = 6 seconds</em>
