1. With an elevation of 5334 m above sea level, the village of Aucanquilca, Chile, is the highest inhabited town in the world.
What would be the gravitational potential energy associated with a 64.0 kg person in Aucanquilca? Assume that the free-fall acceleration at Aucanquilca is equal to that at sea level.
I know the formula is m x g x h so it would be 64.0 x 9.8 x 5334 I think
When you put those numbers into a calculator you get 3345484.8
Is this correct or am I doing something wrong?
