$\mathrm{T}_{2}=260 \mathrm{K} . \mathrm{T}_{1}=315 \mathrm{K} \quad ; \mathrm{W}=1$ joule

Coefficient of performance of Carnot

refrigerator $\beta=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{2}}{\mathrm{W}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{2}}$

$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{Q}_{2}}{1}=\frac{260}{315-260}=\frac{260}{55} \Rightarrow$

$\mathrm{Q}_{2}=\frac{260}{55}=4.73 \mathrm{J}$

$\mathrm{Q}_{1}=\mathrm{Q}_{2}+\mathrm{W}=5.73$
