gravitational potential energy : P
Gravity : g
Mass : m
height : h

P = mgh = 3 x 9.8 x 0.45 = 13.23 Joule

Potential energy is work , from the known formula

W = Fd ( work = force x distance )

W = P ( in case of potential energy height change)

F is the force acting on the body in case of ideal ramp , the only force acting is the weight of the body

F = mg ( not just <m> as the force is mg (Newton) gravity effect)

d is the displacement in direction of force, as we have considered the force to be the weight not it's component in direction of the ramp , the change in displacement is the change in height so

d = h

W = Fd = (F = mg) x (d = h) = mgh

W = mgh = P

what is the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube

Dmitrij [34]

Let the least possible value of the smallest of 99 cosecutive integers be x and let the number whose cube is the sum be p, then

$\frac{99}{2} (2x+98)=p^3 \\ \\ 99x+4,851=p^3\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{p^3-4,851}{99}$

By substitution, we have that $p=33$ and $x=314$ .

Therefore, the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube is 314.
