Answer:
568.18 N
Explanation:
From the question,
The formula for gravitational potential is given as
Ep = mgh........................ Equation 1
Where Ep = Gravitational potential, m = mass of the diver,h = Height.
But,
W = mg.................... Equation 2
Where W = weight of the diver.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
Ep = Wh
Make W the subject of the equation
W = Ep/h................... Equation 3
Given: Ep = 25000 J, h = 44 m
Substitute into equation 3
W = 25000/44
W = 568.18 N.
Hence the weight of the diver = 568.18 N
