At what height from the earth’s surface does a body weighing 3 kg have a potential energy of 60 N?

Task data: m (mass of the body under consideration) = 3 kg; En (potential energy that the body has) = 60 J.

Reference values: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.81 m / s2 ≈ 10 m / s2.

The height at which the body should be located can be expressed from the formula for calculating the potential energy: En = m * g * h, whence h = En / (m * g).

Let’s make a calculation: h = 60 / (3 * 10) = 2 m.

Answer: The body will be located at a height of 2 meters.
