Solution

  1. The potential energy of a body is the product of the mass of that object to the height of it from a specific point and to the acceleration due to the gravity value of that place.
  2. Potential Energy, P.E=mgh where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.
  3. A water tank kept on the rooftop at maximum height will have stored energy, hence the potential energy will be higher.
