At what height is the potential energy of a 2 ton load equal to 10 kg.

m = 2 t = 2000 kg.
g = 10 m / s2.
Ep = 10 kJ = 10000 J.
h -?
The potential energy of a body Ep of mass m, which was raised to a height h above the earth’s surface, is determined by the formula: Ep = m * g * h, where g is the acceleration of gravity.
The potential energy of the body En, raised above the surface of the earth, shows the amount of mechanical work that the body can perform.
h = En / m * g.
h = 10000 J / 2000 kg * 10 m / s2 = 0.5 m.
Answer: the body is at a height of h = 0.5 m above the ground.
