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

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of the Magnetic Force. This expression will be expressed in both the vector and the scalar ways. Through this second we can directly use the presented values and replace them to obtain the value of the magnitude. Mathematically this can be described as,

$\vec{F_B} = q(\vec{V}\times \vec{B})$
