The block of 2 kg is lifted up through 2 m from the ground. Calculate the potential energy of the block at that point. [Take g = 9.8 `m//s^(2)`]

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mass of the block m = 2 kg
Height raised, h = 2 m
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 `m//s^(2)`
Potential energy of the block, P.E. = mgh = (2) (9.8) (2) = 39.2 J
