Answer:

E_{pot} = 132.3 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the definition of the potential energy which can be calculated by means of the following formula.

[tex]E_{pot}=W*h[/tex]

where:

Epot = potential energy [J]

W = weight = 5.4 [N]

h = elevation = 24.5 [m]

[tex]E_{pot}=5.4*24.5\\E_{pot}=132.3[J][/tex]
