Given data:
* The change in gravitational potential energy is 26500 J.
* The change in height of the diver is 33.0 m.
Solution:
The change in gravitational potential energy in terms of change in height of the diver is,
[tex]dU=mg\times dh[/tex]where m is the mass of diver, g is the acceleration due to gravity, dh is the change in height, and dU is the change in gravitational potential energy,
Substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 26500=mg\times33 \\ mg=\frac{26500}{33} \\ mg=803.03\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]The weight of the diver is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} W=mg \\ W=803.03\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, weight of the diver is 803.03 N.
