    1470N

    Explanation:

    The potential energy is the energy at rest, due to the positioning of the object. Potential energy and kinetic energy both makes up the mechanical energy. Potential energy can be calculated using the formula: P. E = mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g) * height (h) i. e. P. E = mgh

    In this question involving a sitting block, we have its mass (m) to be 5kg and height (h) to be 30m. The acceleration due to gravity (g) is a constant with value 9.8m/s^2.

    Hence, with these three values, we say;

    P. E = 5 * 30 * 9.8

    P. E = 1470N
