What is the potential energy of a 2 kg plant that is on a windowsill 1.3 m high

Could someone me find the answer to this problem.

How much force was applied to an object if was moved 2 meters and the work done on the object was 8 joules? a. 0.25 n b. 4 n c. 6 n d. 16 n

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
