Solutions:
According to the question,
Height H1 is h
Height H2 is 2h
Mass of body 1 is m
Mass of body 2 is m
So, using the expression for the potential energy we have –
Gravitational potential energy of body 1 = mgH1 = mgh
Similarly, Gravitational potential energy of body 2 = mgH2 = mg(2h)
Ratio of gravitational potential energies is given as –
mgh / mg(2h) = mgh / 2mgh
= 1 / 2 = 1: 2
