Answer:

m = 2.34 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data shows the relation between the potential energy and the height of an object. The formula for the potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is the acceleration due to gravity

We have,

E = 98.61 J, h = 4.3 m

Putting all the values to find m. So,


m=(E)/(gh)\\\\m=(98.61)/(9.8* 4.3)\\\\m=2.34\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 2.34 kg.
