A vessel containing 50 kg of water is placed at a height of 15 m above the ground. Assuming the gravitational potential encry al ground to be zero what will be the gravitational potential energy of water in the vessel? (g=10 m `s^(-2)`)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the gravitational potential energy (GPE) of the water in the vessel, we can use the formula for gravitational potential energy: \[ \text{GPE} = mgh \] Where: - \( m \) = mass of the water (in kg) - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (in m/s²) - \( h \) = height above the ground (in meters) ...
