Answer:

Person’s mass M = 83.67 kg (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Gravitational potential energy = 164,000 J

Height = 200 m

Find:

Person’s mass M

Computation:

Gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s²

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

164,000 = (m)(9.8)(200)

Person’s mass M = 83.67 kg (Approx.)
