Energy stored or conserved in an object is known as potential energy. The position, arrangement, or state of the object or substance determines how much energy is stored.

Potential energy PE = mgh

Where, the mass in kilograms is denoted by m, the acceleration due to gravity is denoted by the letter g. and the height in meters is denoted by h.

Given that

Mass of object m = ?

Potential energy of an object, PE = 3822 joules

Height of the object h = 15 m

Acceleration due to gravity   g = 9.8 m/s^2   

Step 1: Determine the mass of an object

PE = mgh

m = \frac{PE}{gh}

m=\frac{3822}{9.8*15}\ \ \frac{joules}{m/s^2*m}

m=27\ \frac{kgm^2/s^2}{m^2s^2}  

Hence, mass of an object, m = 27 kg
