<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>
Answer:
1275J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Force on box = 85N
Distance moved = 15m
Unknown:
Work done = ?
Solution:
Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.
Work done = Force x distance
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Work done = 85 x 15 = 1275J
Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86
Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.
So, we have
MA = load/effort
= 240N/129N
= 1.86.
