Given:
The height from the ground is h = 350 m
The gravitational potential energy is GPE = 120,200 J
To find the mass of the hiker.
Explanation:
The mass of the hiker can be calculated by the formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} GPE\text{ =mgh} \\ m\text{ =}\frac{GPE}{gh} \end{gathered}[/tex]Here, g =9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.
On substituting the values, the mass of the hiker will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\text{ =}\frac{120200}{9.8\times350} \\ =35.044\text{ kg } \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the mass of the hiker is 35.044 kg
