Consider a uniform rod of mass 30 kg and length 1.7 m. The rod is pinned at one end and allowed to hang vertically. If the rod has zero gravitational potential in this position, how much gravitational potential energy does it have if it is rotated 44 degrees from the vertical, in J? Use g = 10 m/s2. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)

A man (Adam) stands on the top of a buidling (425 m) and fights his brother (Dan) using a massive hammer. If his hammer has a mass equal to (4.5*1015 kg), what is the gravitation potential energy (in J) of the hammer, relative to the ground?
