Solutions:
According to the question –
Mass of water is m = 50 kg
Height is h = 15 m
Expression for the gravitational potential energy is
= mgh = 50 × 10 × 15
= 7500 J
A vessel containing 50 kg of water is placed at a height 15m above the ground. Assuming the gravitational potential energy at the ground to be zero, what will be the gravitational potential energy of water in the vessel? (g = 10ms-2).
