A plateau stands at an elevation of 1200 m above sea level, while the surrounding plain is at 300 m. The horizontal distance from the edge of the plateau to the plain is 15 km, and the plateau's area is 150 km². (a) Assuming a uniform slope from the plateau edge down to the plain, calculate the average gradient expressed as a percentage. (b) Determine the gravitational potential energy per kilogram of water at the plateau relative to the plain (use \(g = 9.8\) m s^{-2}).
