Answer:

M = 117.6 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a ball, m = 1kg

The height of the ball, h = 12 m

At point A, its initial velocity, v = 0

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

$M=(1)/(2)mv^2+mgh\\\\M=0+mgh\\\\M=1* 9.8* 12\\\\M=117.6\ J$

So, the mechanical energy is equal to 117.6 J.
