A 16-slug mass is raised by 10 ft. the PE of the mass increased by?

The potential energy will be "5120 ft.lb".

According to the question,

Mass,

Height,

As we know the formula,

→

By substituting the values, we get

→    

→    

Thus the response above is correct.

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
