The formula to calculate the Change in Potential Energy is:
\[ \Delta PE = m \cdot g \cdot (z_2 - z_1) \]
Where:
Change in Potential Energy is the energy possessed by the body by virtue of its change in position.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \Delta PE = 35.45 \cdot 9.80665 \cdot (111 - 17) \]
Evaluating:
\[ \Delta PE = 32678.699795 \text{ J} \]
The Change in Potential Energy is 32678.699795 J.
