    35 m

    Explanation:

    Potential Energy of a particle of mass m at a height h is given by

    P = mgh. where P denotes the potential Energy of the particle.

    For cannon ball,

    mass (m) = 40 Kg. (Given)

    P = 14000 Joules. (Given)

    Now, let cannon ball was at height h, then,

    14000 = (40) (10) h

    h = 35 meters

    So, cannon ball has to be at height 35 meters.
