What is the minimum work required of a refrigerator if it is to extract $50 \mathrm{J}$ per cycle from the inside of a freezer at $-10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and exhaust heat to the air at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
How much work is required by a refrigerator that takes in $1000 \mathrm{J}$ from the cold region and exhausts $1500 \mathrm{J}$ to the hot region?
