SANAE IV, a research station of The South African National Antarctic Programme (SANAP), is located on Vesleskarvet, Queen Maud Land. It uses an underground lake as the cold reservoir of a Carnot heat pump that maintains the temperature of a science lab at 307.8 K. To deposit 17360 J of heat in the lab, the heat pump requires 1086 J of work. Determine the temperature of water in the underground lake, in Kelvin.
