Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given information

The problem states that students have raised 60% of their $2,000 goal, which is $1,200. The table shows different percentages, their decimal equivalents, and fractions.

Step 2: Convert percentages to decimals
  • 100% = 1.0
  • 80% = 0.8
  • 60% = 0.6
  • 40% = 0.4
  • 20% = 0.2
  • 0% = 0.0
Step 3: Convert percentages to fractions
  • 100% = 1
  • 80% = 4/5
  • 60% = 3/5
  • 40% = 2/5
  • 20% = 1/5
  • 0% = 0

Final Answer

  • 100% = 1.0 = 1
  • 80% = 0.8 = 4/5
  • 60% = 0.6 = 3/5
  • 40% = 0.4 = 2/5
  • 20% = 0.2 = 1/5
  • 0% = 0.0 = 0

A rope is threaded such that it is supporting a movable pulley directly in the middle between a fixed anchor point 2.8 m high on the wall and a fixed pulley at the same height a distance 4.0 m away. After going over the fixed pulley, the rope angles downward, reaching the ground a distance of 7.0 m away from the pulley. A mass of 36 kg is hanging from the movable pulley, and is initially 0.8 m off the ground. If the end of the rope that reaches the ground is pulled 0.3 m further away from the pulleys, what will the change in the mass' gravitational potential energy be? Answer to one decimal place.
