Answer:
m = 788.2[kg]
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration by height. And it can be calculated by means of the following equation.
[tex]E_{pot}=m*g*h[/tex]
where:
Epot = potential energy = 63405 [J]
m = mass [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81[m/s²]
h = elevation = 8.2[m]
Now replacing:
[tex]63405=m*9.81*8.2\\m=788.2[kg][/tex]
