Answer:
Mass of the basket of fruits ≈ 3 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in an object as a result of its height.
The formula is
GPE = m . g . h where m = mass, g = gravitational force (9.8 N/kg) and h = height (All measures are in metric system)
Therefore m = GPE/(g.h)
Here GPE = 44.12 and h = 1.5m
mass = 44.12 ÷ (9.8 x 1.5) = 44.12 ÷ 14.7 ≈ 3 kg
