Answer:
4.37 * 10^-4 J
Explanation:
Energy stored :
mgΔl / 2
m = mass = 10kg ; g = 9.8m/s² ; r = cross sectional Radius = 1cm = 1 * 10-2 m
Δl = mgl / πr²Y
Y = Youngs modulus = Y=3.5 ×10^10 ; l = Length = 1m
Δl = (10 * 9.8 * 1) / π * (1 * 10^-2)²* 3.5 ×10^10
Δl = 98 / 3.5 * π * 10^6
Δl = 0.00000891267
Energy stored :
mgΔl / 2
(10 * 9.8 * 0.00000891267) / 2
= 0.00043672083 J
4.37 * 10^-4 J
Answer:
11760 joules
Explanation:
Given
Mass (m) = 75kg
Height (h) = 16m
Required
Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)
This is calculated as thus:
PE = mgh
Where g = 9.8m/s²
Substitute values for m, g and h.
P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16
P.E = 11760 joules
