Answer:  176.4 Joules

Explanation: Potential energy of a body is defined as the energy possessed by virtue of position.

Potential energy [tex]=m\times g\times h[/tex]

m = mass of the body = 6 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.8 ms^{-2}[/tex]

h = height of body = 3 m

Potential energy [tex]=6 kg\times 9.8ms^{-2}\times 3m=176.4kgm^2s^{-2}[/tex]

= 176.4Joules                 {[tex]1kgm^2s^{-2}=1Joule[/tex]}
