    24.72 kwh

    Explanation:

    Electric energy=potential energy=mgz where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and z is the elevation.

    Substituting the given values while taking g as 9.81 and dividing by 3600 to convert to per hour we obtain

    PE = (108*9.81*84) / 3600=24.72 kWh
