Answer:
83790 J.
Explanation:
Potential Energy: This can be defined as the energy possessed by a body, by vitue of it position in the gravitational field. The S.I unit of Potential Energy is Joules (J).
From the question,
P.E = mgh........................................... Equation 1
Where P.E = potential Energy of the bell, m = mass of the bell, h = height of the tower, g = Acceleration due to gravity.
Given: m = 190 kg, h = 45 m.
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
P.E = 190×45×9.8
P.E = 83790 J.
Hence the potential energy of the bell is 83790 J.
