Efficiency of a Carnot cycle,=1-(Tsink/Tsource) If eff =1/6 then Tsink/Tsource= 5/6 ------(1) If eff = 1/3 the Tsink-65/Tsource= 2/3------(2) Solving the equation 1 and 2 T sink = 325( lower temp) T source = 390( higher temperature)

An elevator weighs 3000kg. What is its acceleration when the in the tension supporting cable is 33000N. Given that g = 9.8m/s2.
M = 3000 kg g = 9.8 m/s² T = 33000 a = ? Ma = Mg - T 3000 * a = 3000 * 9.8 - 33000 3000a = 29400 - 33000 3000a = - 3600 a = - 1.2 m/s².
