The potential energy possessed by the plant is 58.86joules

Step-by-step explanation:

N/B. The given mass is 2kg not weight

This problem bothers energy.

By definition potential energy is the energy possessed by virtue of its position

If a mass of body m is held at a height h meters above the ground

Then potential energy

P.E= weight of body x height

=mgxh

P. E= mgh

Given data

Mass of plant= 2kg

Height above the ground = 3m

Assuming g= 9.81m/s²

P.E= 2*9.81*3

= 58.86joules
