Answer:
We know that potential energy of a body;
= mass(m)× gravitational acceleration(g) × height(h)
Lets find out the mass of the body
P.E. = mgh
=> 6500J = mass × 9.8m/s^2 × 12m
=>6500J = mass × ( 9.8 × 12 ) × ( m/s^2 × m)
=> 6500 Nm = m × 117.6 × m^2 / s^2
=> 6500/117.6 Ns^2/m = mass [°.° Ns^2/m = kg]
=> 55.272 Kg = mass
Therefore the mass of the body = 55.272 kg ~ 60 kg (Ans)
