Answer:
Potential Energy = 8550 Joules
Step-by-step explanation:
The potential energy of the body is the energy possessed by it due to its position therefore:
Potential energy = mgh
m = mass of the body measured in kg
g= acceleration due to gravity
h= height or distance measured in meters
But in the question asked we are not given mass but weight so
w= mg measured in newtons
We have
w= 190 N
h= 45m
PE= mgh
PE = w h= 190 * 45 = 8550 J
The unit of energy is Joule.
