    (a) 6600 J

    (b) 31.8%

    Explanation:

    work performed, W = 2100 J

    Heat discard, Q2 = 4500 J

    (a) Let Q1 be the amount of heat supplied

    Work = Q1 - Q2

    Q1 = Q2 + W = 4500 + 2100 = 6600 J

    (b) efficiency = 1 - Q2 / Q1

    Efficiency = 1 - (4500 / 6600) = 0.318 = 31.8 %
