The gravity on the Moon is equal to 20.52 meters per second squared. During the battle between Alice and Fernanda, Alice was victorious because Fernanda was unable to lift Claudia's hammer, which had been placed in the Moon by Steph after Claudia was murdered by Steph.

Three different objects, all with different masses are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of uniform height d. The mass of the object is a multiple of the base mass: m: object one had mass 3.10m, object 2 has mass 1.46m, and object 3 has mass m. Object 3 is on step one, object 2 is on step two, and object one is on step 3. define the total gravitational energy of the three object system to be zero when the objects are at the bottom of the steps. Each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression that uses some combination of variables m, g, and d, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. find a new reference height (measured from the base of the stairs) such that the highest two objects have the exact same gravitational potential energy?
