Answer:
Mass of ball = 3.0102 Kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
Potential energy at height h is given by
PE = mgh
where m is the mass of the body
g is the the acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8 m/s^2
h is the height from surface level
PE is potential energy
In the problem given h = 2 meters
PE = 59 joules
59 = m*9.8*2
=> m = 59/9.8*2 = 3.0102 Kg
Thus, mass of ball is 3.0102 Kg.
