In Example 6.11, we compared the gravitational potential energy of a 20-W lightbulb to the electrical energy consumed when it is turned on. Repeat that calculation, but now assume the lightbulb is turned on for one day. Find the height h through which the lightbulb would have to fall for the change in gravitational potential energy to equal the electrical energy consumed by the lightbulb. Compare this answer to the height of Mount Everest. Assume you can use the relation

(reference example 6.11)
