The gravitational potential energy stored in a [tex]60 Kg[/tex] boy sitting at the top of a [tex]2 m[/tex] high slide is [tex]1200 J[/tex].

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others.

[tex]U = mgh[/tex]

Where,

[tex]U =[/tex] potential energy

[tex]m =[/tex] mass

[tex]h =[/tex] height

[tex]g =[/tex] acceleration due to gravity

It represents the potential an object has to do work as a result of being located at a particular position in a gravitational field.

The energy that a ball has when placed at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy.

Given:

[tex]m = 60 Kg[/tex]

[tex]h = 2m[/tex]

Potential energy is

[tex]U = mgh\\U = 60*10*2\\U = 1200 J[/tex]

Potential energy is [tex]U = 1200 J[/tex]
