The energy is proportional to both the height and the mass. The mass is proportional to the height itself. Hence the energy is proportional to the square of the height.
If the fill level is h, so the weighted average of the mass is at h/2,then
If the fill level is h, so the weighted average of the mass is at h/2,then
E = m * g * h / 2
m = V * r
V = A * h
E = A * r * g * h^2 / 2
m2 * kg/m3 * m/s2 * m2 = kg m2 / s2 = J
