Answer:
Potential energy will be [tex]176.58\times 10^{11}j[/tex]
Explanation:
We have given the height of the basin is h = 6 m
Area of the basin [tex]A=5\times 10^7m^2[/tex]
Volume [tex]V=area \times height=5\times 10^7\times 6=30\times 10^7m^3[/tex]
Density [tex]\rho =1000kg/m^3[/tex]
We know that mass is given by [tex]m=\rho V=1000\times 30\times 10^7=3\times 10^{11}kg[/tex]
We know that potential energy is given by [tex]E=mgh=3\times 10^{11}\times 9.81\times 6=176.58\times 10^{11}j[/tex]
