Answer:
g = 1.25m/s²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 5kg
Height = 6m
Gravitational potential energy = 24J
To find the acceleration due to gravity;
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.
GPE = mgh
Substituting into the equation, we have;
24 = 5*6*g
24 = 30g
g = 30/24
g = 1.25m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X is 1.25m/s².

1. Let a force F' is the vector sum of the forces P and Q, then it is shown on the attached picture and marked with red color.
2. according to the condition the force F holds the object, then F should have the same length as the force F' and the opposite direction.
3. using the conditions described in 2. the answer is C.
