Answer:

96 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that efficiency is the ratio of output power by input power. i.e. Efficiency describes the quality of machine or system how good it is.

Solution,

Energy input of system = 120 J

Efficiency = 80% =
(80)/(100) = 0.8

Now,

According to definition,

Efficiency =
(output)/(input)

Cross multiplication:


output \: = \: 0.8 * 120

Calculate the product


output \: = 96 \: joules

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
