Mass of an Object with GPE Calculator

The energy that is possessed by a body when it is in a gravitational field is termed as gravitational potential energy, which can also be termed as GPE. It depends on acceleration due to gravity, mass and height of the body. This online calculator can be used to find the mass based on the GPE and height.

Formula:

Mass(Kg) = GPE (J)/ (Gravitational Acceleration x Height (m)) Where, Gravitational Acceleration = 9.8 m/s2

Example

An object is moving at a height of 10 m and if its GPE is 20 Joules, then
Mass = 20/(9.8 × 10)
       =20/98
       =0.2041Kg

There is a direct relation between gravitational potential energy and the mass of an object. More massive objects have greater gravitational potential energy.
