2. (15 %) (a) A tropical cyclone can be modelled as a Carnot heat engine which takes in energy from the ocean and release heat at the top of the tropical cyclone. (i) What is the work done of a tropical cyclone if its heat intake is 1.5 x1013 J, assuming the sea surface temperature is at 28°C, and the temperature at the top of the tropical cyclone is at -75°C?
