Answer:

675 joule

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of the branch=15 kg

gravity=9. 8 m/s^2

height=4. 5 m

now,

potential energy=mass×gravity×height

=15kg ×9. 8 m/s^2 ×4. 5 m

=675 j

Answer: PE = 662 J

Explanation: Potential Energy is the product of mass, gravity and height.

PE = mgh

= 15 kg x 9.8 m/s² x 4.5 m

= 662 J
