Answer:

45,000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 60 × 10 × 75

We have the final answer as

45,000 J

Hope this helps you
