$A$ Carnot engine uses an ideal monoatomic gas first and then an ideal diatomic gas. If the source and sink temperatures are $411^{\circ}C$ and $69^{\circ}C$ respectively,and the engine extracts $1000 \, J$ of heat in each cycle,then the area enclosed by the $PV$ diagram is ........ $J$.

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