A block weighing 20 N is lifted 6 m vertically upward. Calculate the potential energy stored in it. (120 J)

Difficulty: Easy

Solution:       

Weight of the block = W = 20 N
                       Height = h = 6 m
                       Potential energy = P. E. =?
                                 P.E. = mgh


We know that           w = mg
                                 P.E. = $(mg) \times h$
Thus,                         P.E. = $(2 \times 10)\times 6$
                                  P.E. = 120 J
