Lab 9: Torque. If two weights are hung on one side – one at hole 8 from the left end, one at hole 11 from the left end - where would a third weight need to hang to establish equilibrium?

If the heat engine is a perfect carnot cycle engine, thenefficiency = (t2-t1)/t2   where t1=temperature of cold reservoir ( ° k) = 135            t2=temperature of hot reservoir ( ° k)   = 325thereforeefficiency = (t2-t1)/t2 = (325-135)/325 = 0.5846 = 58%  note: this is the theoretical maximum efficiency of a perfect heat engine.   real-life engines do not achieve this value.

I’m not sure about this question

Ican’t exactly answer this, but i can try to give a bit more info here.
astronomers are able to calculate a star’s life expectancy depending on its mass. (a larger star burns more gas, therefore having a shorter life span).
so astronomers can definitely predict the death of stars and the times they will die.
i hope this was in some way : )
