Find the potential energy of a body weighing 2.5 tons at a height of 80 cm

The potential energy W of a body with a mass of m = 2.5 t = 2500 kg at a height of h = 80 cm = 0.8 m is determined by the formula: W = m ∙ g ∙ h, where the coefficient is g = 9.8 N / kg. Let’s substitute the values of physical quantities in the formula and make calculations: W = 2500 ∙ 9.8 ∙ 0.8 = 19600 (J).
Answer: the body has a potential energy equal to 19600 J.
