The potential energy of an object is given by
where:
PE = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = height
PE = mgh
PE = (1.5 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(10.0 m)
Therefore, the potential energy of the book is 147 J.

The potential energy of an object is given by
where:
PE = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = height
Solving for PE
PE = mgh
PE = (1.5 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(10.0 m)
Therefore, the potential energy of the book is 147 J.
