Answer:
5760 J
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of block = 48 kg
Height (h) = 12 m
Gravitational field strength (g) = 10 N/Kg
Gravitational potential energy (PE) =?
The gravitational potential energy stored by the block can simply be obtained as follow:
PE = mgh
PE = 48 × 10 × 12
PE = 5760 J
Therefore, the gravitational potential energy stored by the block is 5760 J
