The PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy

It's the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

We are given the mass of m=16 slug raised by a height h=10 ft. Both units will be converted to SI standard:

1 slug = 14.59 Kg, thus

16 slug = 16*14.59 Kg=233.44 Kg

1 ft = 0.3048 m, thus:

10 ft = 10*0.3048 m = 3.048 m

Thus, the PE of the mass increased by:

U = 233.44 * 9.8 * 3.048 = 6,972.95 J

the PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J
