The potential energy of an object can be calculated using the formula:
Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height
Given:
mass = 115 kg
height = 6 meters
gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 (approximate value on Earth)
Potential Energy = 115 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 6 meters
Potential Energy = 6762 J
Therefore, the correct answer is d) 6762 J.
