The vertical height of the given plane is 4.9 m.
The given parameters:
- <em>speed of the object at the bottom of the ramp, v = 9.8 m/s</em>
The vertical height of the plane is calculated by applying principle of conservation of mechanical energy as follows;

Thus, the vertical height of the given plane is 4.9 m.
