Answer:

14, 85 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of potential Energy (P.E.) is

P.E. = m * g * h, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (about 10 m /
s^(2) at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.

Here P.E. is 0,55 kg * 10 m/s * 2,7 m = 14, 85 J
