Detailed Solution

The potential energy is given by 1960 J
Given:
the mass of the object (m)= 40kg
Height(h) =5 m
We need to find Potential energy.
Potential energy (P.E)  is given by the expression,
P.= m × g × h
Where
        = Mass of the object
        = Vertical displacement
        = Acceleration due to gravity  (9.8 ms-2)
P.= 40 × 9.8 × 5
 P.= 1960 J
