What is the useful work if the body, when heated, received 250 kJ of energy, and the efficiency is 50%?

Initial data: Q (the amount of energy received by heat during heating) = 250 kJ = 250 * 10 ^ 3 J; η (efficiency) = 50% = 0.5.

The useful work is determined from the formula for calculating the efficiency: η = A / Q, whence A = η * Q.

Let’s perform the calculation: A = 0.5 * 250 * 10 ^ 3 = 125 * 10 ^ 3 J = 125 kJ.

Answer: The useful work is 125 kJ.
