The largest water tower in Camden holds 2,000,000-gallons at 24 meters in the air.

Using your existing equations, what is the potential energy of all that water? Note you

will need to convert gallons into a usable measurement. Show your work!

    Given that,

    The Camden holds a volume of

    V = 2,000,000 gallons

    At a height of

    h = 24 m

    We want to find the potential energy.

    And potential energy can be calculated using

    P. E = mgh

    Where

    m is the mass

    g Is the acceleration due to gravity

    h Is the height.

    Given that,

    Then volume is

    V = 2,000,000 gallons

    From research.

    1 gallon ≈ 3.785 kg

    Then,

    2,000,000 gallons = 2,000,000 * 3.785 kg

    So,

    P. E = mgh

    P. E = 2,000,000 * 3.785 * 9.81 * 24

    P. E = 1.782 * 10^9 J.
