Answer:

4000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the man = 800N

Height of ladder = 5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy gained = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is due to the position of a body.

Gravitational potential energy = weight x height

Now insert the parameters;

Gravitational potential energy = 800 x 5 = 4000J
