Obtain an expression for the potential energy of a body of mass m at a height h above the ground.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Force due to gravity on the body F = mg
Work done in lifting the body against the force of gravity to a height h above the ground
W = F × d = mg × h = mgh
Thus, the potential energy of the body = mgh.
