C, due to stuff and whatnot
Answer:
Potential energy = 14.7 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass, m = 1kg
Height, h = 1.5m
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²
Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.
Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

P.E = 14.7 Joules.
Supposing that the spring is un stretched when θ = 0, and has a toughness of k = 60 N/m.It seems that the spring has a roller support on the left end. This would make the spring force direction always to the left
Sum moments about the pivot to zero.
10.0(9.81)[(2sinθ)/2] + 50 - 60(2sinθ)[2cosθ] = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)2sinθcosθ = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)sin(2θ) = 0
by iterative answer we discover that
θ ≈ 0.465 radians
θ ≈ 26.6º
