The potential energy of the monkey at the given position is 600.9 J.
<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>
Potential energy is the energy stored in a body that depends upon the relative position of various parts of the body.
It increases with increase in the height of the object above the ground level.
<h3>
Potential energy of the monkey</h3>
The potential energy of the monkey is calculated as follows;
P.E = mgh
P.E = mg (L sin43)
where;
- m is mass of the monkey, given as 16.9 kg
- g is acceleration due to gravity, given as 9.8 m/s²
- L is length of the vine given as 5.32 m
Substitute the given parameters and solve potential energy of the monkey
P.E = (16.9)(9.8)( 5.32 x sin 43)
P.E = 600.9 J
Thus, the potential energy of the monkey at the given position is 600.9 J.
