    Answer

    672,000 Joules

    Explanation

    Gravitational potential energy (P. E) is the energy possessed by a body that is at a potential height from the ground.

    IT is calculated by the formula;

    P. E = mgh

    Where m ⇒ mass

    g ⇒ acceleration due to gravity

    h ⇒ height from trhe ground.

    P. E = 1200 * 1.6 * 350

    = 672,000 Joules.
