Answer:

59.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object can be found by using the formula


h = (p)/(mg ) \\

where

p is the potential energy

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have


h = (23048)/(39 * 10) = (23048)/(390) \\ = 59.0974...

We have the final answer as

59.1 m

Hope this helps you
