snehapess: Thanks for marking me.
snehapess: But just for ur info, it is better if u take the value of g as 9.8
snehapess: If the value is alread given, use it.

Let the value of acceleration due to gravity be 10m/s^2(g)

Potential energy = mgh

= 5×10×4(in metres)

= 200J


mehak216: Thanks for trying but maybe its not correct
snehapess: Could I know the mistake?
mehak216: Yes
mehak216: Actually the answer is 196 J
snehapess: But isnt it okay to take the value of g as 10.
mehak216: Maybe its ok
mehak216: But I’m not sure
mehak216: If its right
