Question

A piano of mass 852 kg is lifted to a height of 3.5 m. How much gravitational potential energy is added to the piano? Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2.

Answer 1

`m=852 \ kg \\ h=3,5 \ m \\ g=9,8 \ m/s^2 \\ \boxed{P_e-?} \\ \bold{Solving:} \\ \boxed{P_e=m \cdot g \cdot h} \\ P_e=852 \ kg \cdot 9,8 \ m/s^2 \cdot 3,5 \ m =8 \ 349,6 \ N \cdot 3,5 \ m \\ \Rightarrow \boxed{P_e=29 \ 223,6 \ J}`
