Answer:
The inventor's claim is false in the sense that no thermal machine can violate the first thermodynamic law.
Explanation:
The inventor's claim could not be possible as no thermal machine can transfer more heat than the input work consumed. If we expose the thermal efficiency:
Where Q and W both must be in the same power unit, so we will convert the remove heat from BTU/hr to hp:
Therefore by comparing, we notice that the removing heat of 4.75 hp is large than the delivered work of 1.11 hp. By evaluating the efficiency:

Answer:
(a) 0 kJ
(b) 9.81 kJ
(c) 31.32 m/s
Explanation:
(a)
From the law of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one state to another. At a height of 50 m, all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy hence KE=0
(b)
Potential energy, PE=mgh where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height
Substituting 50 m for h and 20 Kg for m, taking g as 9.81 then
PE=20*9.81*50=9810 J=9.81 kJ
(c)
Relating the equation of potential energy to the equation of kinetic energy, which is
where v is the velocity of the mass
Substituting 50 m for h and taking g as 9.81 then
