PE=mgh
technically, if the bottom of the tank is at 30 meteres, the water had to be pumped higher, and you should use h as the location of the center of gravity for the water.
A small water tank which holds 5000 litres of water is filled with a pump in 10 minutes. The tank is 30m above the ground.
Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy of the water.
