of temperature Tc.
10. How much work does the engine perform during a single cycle?
(a) ***140J
(b) 220J
(c) 360J
(d) 580J
(e) There is not enough information to determine this.
11. If the temperature at which energy is exhauste is Tc = 300K, what is
the temperature at which energy was absorbed?
(a) 117K
(b) 183K
(c) 300K
(d) ***490K
(e) 771K
