Answer:
The potential energy associated with the given mass equals 1814.98 kilo Joules.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that for a object of mass 'm' standing at a height of 'h' meters above the surface of earth the potential energy associated with the object is given by
[tex]P.E=mass\times g\times h[/tex]
where
'g' is acceleration due to gravity.
Since it is given that mass of 1 cubic meter of water is 1000 kilograms that the mass associated with given quantity of water is also 1000 kilograms since the volume is 1 cubic meter.
The height is given as 607 feet = [tex]{607}\times 0.3048=185.0136[/tex]meters
Applying the values in the above equation we get
[tex]P.E=1000\times 9.81\times 185.0136=1814.98kJ[/tex]
