Answer:

total potential energy is 383.18.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is because that when we hold something at the influence of gravity than work is done . Similarly we know that

Potential Energy is Equal to the product of m g and h.Here weight gives the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.so

PE = mgh

= 112.7×3.4

=383.18 joule

Unit of energy is joule
