Detailed Solution

The bag of wheat should be raised up to a height of

5 m

to become its energy

9800 J

.
Given data:
Mass of the bag,

m = 200 kg

Potential energy,

P . E = 9800 J

Acceleration due to gravity,

g = 9.8 m s^{- 2}

To find the height of the bag to be raised.
The formula used:
Potential energy,

P . E = mgh

Where,

m

is the mass of the object and

h

is the height of the object.
Now,

P . E = mgh

\Rightarrow h = \frac{P . E}{mg}

\Rightarrow = \frac{9800}{200 \times 9.8}

\Rightarrow = 5 m

Hence, the bag of wheat should be raised to a height of

5 meter
