Answer:

55%

Explanation:

hot reservoir = 1100 K

cold reservoir = 500 K

This is a Carnot system

For a Carnot system, maximum efficicency of the system is given as

Eff = 1 - $\frac{Tc}{Th}$

where Tc = temperature of cold reservoir = 500K

Th = temperature of hot reservoir = 1100 K

Eff = 1 - $\frac{500}{1100}$

Eff = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 or 55%

During an office party, an office worker claims that a can of cold beer on his table warmed up to 20oC by picking up energy from

Contact [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

As we know that heat transfer take place from high temperature body to low temperature body.

In the given problem ,the temperature of the air is high as compare to the temperature of can of bear ,so the heat transfer will take place from air to can of bear and at the last stage when temperature of can of bear will become to the temperature of air then heat transfer will be stop.Because temperature of the both body will become at the same and this stage is called thermal equilibrium.

So an office worker claim is correct.

It is known that the connecting rod AB exerts on the crank BCa 2.5-kN force directed down andto the left along the centerline of

monitta

Answer:

M_c = 61.6 Nm

Explanation:

Given:

F_a = 2.5 KN

Find:

Determine the moment of this force about C for the two casesshown.

Solution:

- Draw horizontal and vertical vectors at point A.

- Take moments about point C as follows:

M_c = F_a*( 42 / 150 ) *88

M_c = 2.5*( 42 / 150 ) *88

M_c = 61.6 Nm

- We see that the vertical component of force at point A passes through C.

Hence, its moment about C is zero.
