What is the efficiency of an ideal heat engine if the machine does 50 J of useful work per cycle and gives the refrigerator 100 J?

The energy received per cycle will be equal to the sum:

E = 50 + 100 = 150 J.

Then the efficiency will be:

(50/150) * 100 = 100/3 = 33%.

Answer: the required efficiency is 33%.
