At what height is the potential energy of a body weighing 12 kg equal to 600 J.

Given:
m = 12 kilograms – weight of the cargo;
E = 600 Joules – the potential energy of the load at a certain height.
It is required to determine h (meter) – at what height the potential energy of the load will be equal to E.
To determine the height of the load, you must use the following formula:
E = m * g * h (where g = 10 Newton / kilogram, approximate value), from here we find that:
h = E / (m * g);
h = 600 / (12 * 10);
h = 600/120 = 60/12 = 5 meters.
Answer: the load will have a potential energy of 600 Joules at a height of 5 meters.
