An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between $227^{\circ}C$ and $127^{\circ}C$. It absorbs $6 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$ of heat at the higher temperature. The amount of heat converted to work is ......... $\times 10^4 \text{ cal}$.

$A$ heat engine operates with the cold reservoir at a temperature of $324 \; K$. If the heat engine takes $300 \; J$ of heat from the hot reservoir and delivers $180 \; J$ of heat to the cold reservoir per cycle,what is the minimum temperature of the hot reservoir in $K$?
