Answer:

200J or 196J

Step-by-step explanation:

mass = 10kg

gravity = 9.8 or 10 ( the answer might vary if u take either 10 or 9.8 as the gravitational value )

height = 2 meter

p.e= mgh

option 1

10×10×2 = 200 Joules

option 2

10×9.8×2 = 196 Joules

better to take 9.8 as gravitational value

hope it helps
