A carnot engine uses 0.05kg of air as the working substance. The temperature limits of the cycle are 300K and 940K, the maximum pressure is 8400KPa, and the heat added per cycle is 4.2KJ. Determine the pressure and volume at each state of the cycle.

r(gamma)=1.4 and R=0.287KJ/Kg Kim pretty sure the state equations are
W=m*R*T*ln(v2/v1) for the isothermal expansions and
T*V^(r-1)=T*v^(r-1) for the adiabatic expansions,

but I have no idea how to use them, any help would greatley help.
