Problem

a. A 5 kg5\,\text{kg} bucket is first lifted from the ground to a balcony 4 m4\,\text{m} high. Calculate its potential energy at the balcony level. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}. b. The same bucket is then raised further to the roof, which is 10 m10\,\text{m} above the ground. Calculate its potential energy at the roof. c. Find the increase in potential energy as the bucket moves from the balcony to the roof.
