Q. A stone of mass 8 kg has been lifted to a height of 2 m from the ground. Calculate the rise in its potential energy.

If we have been told that

A stone weighs 2.5kg......so here is 2.5kg the mass or weight.

If it is weight then the potential energy should be equal to

Weight*height...where height is 6m
