Question

I am needing assistance with this question in its entirety

***Please type your answer or write in print, because I have had great difficulty with understanding most handwritten assistance done in cursive or mixed print/cursive.

(a) How much gravitational potential energy (in J) (relative to the ground on which it is built) is stored in an Egyptian pyramid, given its mass is about 7 X 10° kg and its center of mass is 39.0 m above the surrounding ground? (Enter a
number.)
(b) What is the ratio of this energy to the daily food intake of a person (1.2 × 10’ J)? (Enter your answer as a ratio to the number 1. Enter a number.)
