Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is mass of the object times the gravitational constant times the height of the object:

U = mgh (I will use 10 for the gravitational constant but you can use 9.8 or 9.81 or something even more accurate)

U = 280

The gravitational potential of the object is 280 joules
