Answer:
1762.04J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of counterweight = 58kg
Height = 3.1m
Unknown:
Amount of potential energy = ?
Solution:
The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.
It is given as:
Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
So;
Potential energy = 58 x 9.8 x 3.1 = 1762.04J
