Solution

Step 1: Understand the given values. The calorific value of the fuel is 2000 kJ/kg, which means that 1 kg of fuel produces 2000 kJ of heat. The total heat produced is 9000 kJ.

Step 2: To find the amount of fuel burnt, we need to divide the total heat produced by the calorific value of the fuel.

So, the amount of fuel burnt = Total heat produced / Calorific value of the fuel

Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula:

Amount of fuel burnt = 9000 kJ / 2000 kJ/kg = 4.5 kg

So, 4.5 kg of fuel was burnt.
