Answer: 324.135 kJ
Explanation:
Given
Mass of dropping is [tex]m=2250\ kg[/tex]
The initial height of dropping is [tex]h_1=16\ m[/tex]
The final height of dropping [tex]h_2=1.3\ m[/tex]
Gravitational potential energy is the function of height i.e.
[tex]\Rightarrow \text{G.E.}=mgh[/tex]
Change in Gravitational Energy is
[tex]\Rightarrow \Delta \text{G.E.}=mg(h_1-h_2)=2250\times 9.8\times (16-1.3)\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta \text{G.E.}=3,24,135\ J\approx 324.135\ kJ[/tex]
