Answer:
[tex]U=5*10^7ft.Ib[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Weight [tex]W= 10000bs[/tex]
Altitude [tex]H=5000ft[/tex]
Speed [tex]V=125kts\\1kts=0.514m/s\\V=125*0.514=>64.25m/s[/tex]
Generally the equation for Potential energy ids mathematically given as
[tex]Potential\ Energy\ U=mgh[/tex]
[tex]U=Wh[/tex]
[tex]U=10000*5000[/tex]
[tex]U=5*10^7ft.Ib[/tex]
