Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 2 × 9.8 × 0.7

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
