What potential energy relative to the ground does a body weighing 25 kg, located at a height of 5 meters, have?

The potential energy of a body (in the gravitational field of the Earth) is calculated by the formula:
Ep = mgh, where m is the body mass (m = 25 kg), g is the acceleration of gravity (we take g = 10 m / s ^ 2), h is the body height relative to the ground (h = 5 m).
Let’s calculate the potential energy of the body:
Ep = mgh = 25 * 10 * 5 = 1250 J = 1.25 kJ.
Answer: The potential energy of the body is 1.25 kJ.
