Answer:

the Earth magnetic field in that region is about 89.09 \muT

Explanation:

If the magnetic field has an inclination of 79^o, and its horizontal component is 17 microTesla, then we can calculate the magnitude of the full magnetic field via the cosine function. Notice that the decomposition of a vector in horizontal and perpendicular components originates a right angle triangle where the vector is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\cos(79^o)=\frac{17}{B} \\B=\frac{17}{cos(79^o)}\,\mu T  \\B=89.09\,\,\mu T

Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539  J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁   = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot  reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}

\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}

\eta=0.6918

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W

P=3967.21 W
