Answer:
The required mechanical work is required to reduce each day by 1.05×10^8 Joules.
Explanation:
Coefficient of Performance (COP) = Q/W
Q is thermal energy absorbed by the air conditioner
W is mechanical work done
Q = 3.9×10^8 J
COP of old air conditioner = 2.3
W = Q/COP = 3.9×10^8/2.3 = 1.70×10^8 J
COP of new air conditioner = 6
W = Q/COP = 3.9×10^8/6 = 6.5×10^7 J
Reduction in mechanical work = (1.7×10^8) - (6.5×10^7) = 1.05×10^8 J
