Answer:

8550 Joules of energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The bell is situated at the top of the tower, height = 45m
  • Weight of the bell, F = 190 N
  • The workdone by the gravitational force = F.hcos180°
  • As a result, when the body is 45 meters above the earth, gravitational force (e.g., weight) works downward. As a result, the angle formed by the force and h = 180°.
  • Therefore the workdone by the gravitational force = 190 × 45 × -1

= -8550 J

  • Thus, potential energy = neg of workdone
  • = -(-8550 J) = 8550 J
