Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 3 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 30 m above the surface of Earth. The acceleration of gravity is constant at 9.7 m/s2 and the density of the water is uniform at 1000 kg/m3. Determine the change in gravitational potential energy if the elevation decreases by 15 m.

A. Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 3 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 30 m above the surface of Earth.
