A 60 kgm body has a potential energy if 135 Kcal with respect to a datum plane X and a potential energy of -99 Kcal with respect to a datum plane Y. If the local acceleration of gravity is standard, compute the relative position of the plane X relative to plane Y. Resolve the problem if g=30 fps^2.
