Answer

(a) $260J$ (b) $0.3768$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $Heat\space provided=Work \space done +Heat \space exhausted$ $\implies Work \space done =Heat \space provided -Heat \space exhausted$ We plug in the know values to obtain: $Work \space done=690-430=260J$ (b) The efficiency of the engine can be determined as $\eta=\frac{Work\space done}{Heat \space input }$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\eta=\frac{260}{690}$ $\eta=0.3768$
