\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨

Gravitational Potential of an object with mass m, and height of h metre is :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:mgh

Now, if the mass of object is 2100 kg, height of 18 m is placed in there, then it's gravitational potential energy is ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:2100 * 10 * 18


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:378000 \: \: joules


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:3.78 * 10 {}^(5) \: \: joules
