Hello!

Here we can use PE=mgh

So with your givens we have

Mass=17kg
PE= 350J
g=9.80m/s^2

So we have

350J = 17kg * 9.80m/s^2 * h

Now we just solve for our height! So we have

350J/(17kg*9.80m/s^2) = 2.10m is the height of the shelf. So rounded to nearest whole number, the shelf is 2meters high.

Hope this help. Any questions please just ask. Thank you so much!

The shelf is 2.10 m high. If rounded for nearest whole number the height of shelf is 2 meter.

From the formula of potential energy,

PE = mgh

Where,

PE- potential energy = 350J

m - mass = 17 kg

g - gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

h - height = ?

Put the values in the formula and solve it for h    

350J = 17kg  x 9.80m/s^2 x  h

h =  2.10 m

Therefore, the shelf is 2.10 m high. If rounded for nearest whole number the height of shelf is 2 meter.
