In this exercise, we need to calculate the gravitational potential energy of the book relative to the ground. For that, we have the following data:

  • Height of the person: hp=1.6 mh_p=1.6\text{ m};
  • Mass of the book: m=1.65 kgm=1.65\text{ kg};
  • Final height of the book: h=2.2 mh=2.2\text{ m}.
