The correct answer is:
$90 \mathrm{~J}$
$90 \mathrm{~J}$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{W} & =\mathrm{Q}_2\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}-1\right) \quad \eta=1-\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1} \\ 10 & =\mathrm{Q}_2\left(\frac{10}{9}-1\right) \quad \frac{1}{10}=1-\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1}=1-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{9}{10} \\ 10 & =\mathrm{Q}_2\left(\frac{1}{9}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{10}{9} \\ \mathrm{Q}_2 & =90 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}$
