Question:

A heat engine is involved with exchange of heat of $1915 \mathrm{~J},-40 \mathrm{~J},+125 \mathrm{~J}$ and $\mathrm{QJ}$, during one cycle achieving an efficiency of $50.0 \%$. The value of $Q$ is:

 

  1. $640 \mathrm{~J}$

  2. $400 \mathrm{~J}$

  3. $980 \mathrm{~J}$

  4. $40 \mathrm{~J}$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

$\eta=\frac{\text { Work done }}{\text { Heat supplied }}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\eta=\frac{1915-40+125-Q}{1915+125}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2000-\mathrm{Q}}{2040}$

$2040=4000-2 Q$

$2 Q=1960$

$Q=980 \mathrm{~J}$
