derive the equation P = 5gh

Dear student Disclaimer : incorrect typing I assume you are for deriving P = mgh not 5gh Potential energy of a body is due to its higher position above the earth and it is equal to work done on the body against gravity in moving the body to that position . A body of mass 'm' is raised to a height 'h' above the ground . The force acting on body is gravitational pull of earth that is m×g work done= force×distance w= f×s w=mgh Potential energy is directly proportional to mass and height above the ground Regards
