Question

A book with a mass of 3.3 kg sits on a bookshelf. If it has a gravitational

Answer 1

AnswEr :

Given that,

• Mass of the Book (M) = 3.3 Kg

• Gravitational Potential Energy (P) = 57 J

• Acceleration Due to Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

We have to find the height of the shelf

We know that,

$\tt P = MgH$

Putting the values,

$\sf \: 57 = 3.3 \times 9.8 \times h \\ \\ \implies \: \sf \: 57 = 32.34 \times h \\ \\ \implies \: \sf \: h = 1.76 \: m \: (approx)$

The height of the shelf is 1.76 m
