Height of sitting = 19.48 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

Current weight = 539 N

Weight = mg = 539 N

Mass x Acceleration = 539 N

Mass x 9.81 = 539

Mass = 54.94 kg

Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 10500 J

54.94 x 9.81 x h = 10500

h = 19.48 m

Height of sitting = 19.48 m
