Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 14700\ Joules}

Step-by-step explanation:

This work done is in the form of Potential Energy so we'll use the formula of Potential Energy.

Given Data:

Mass = m = 250 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = 6 m

Required:

Work Done in the form of Potential Energy = P.E. = ?

Formula:

P.E. = mgh

Solution:

P.E. = (250)(9.8)(6)

P.E. = 14700 Joules


\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
