Question 54
Easy

A climber ascends a hill path from Point X to Point Y as shown in the elevation diagram.

Diagram of a hill trail. The y-axis represents vertical height in meters. Point X is located at a vertical height of 120 m on the trail. Point Y is located further up the trail at a vertical height of 170 m.

The gravitational potential energy of the climber increases by 36 000 J36\,000\text{ J}36000 J when travelling from Point X to Point Y.

Calculate the mass of this climber.

Gravitational field strength, g=10 N/kgg = 10\text{ N/kg}g=10 N/kg

Use the equation:

ΔEp=m×g×Δh \Delta E_p = m \times g \times \Delta h ΔEp​=m×g×Δh
