The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J
Explanation:
First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).
As,
Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height
PE = m*g*h --- (A)
In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.
mg = 50N
h = height = 1.5m
Plug the values in equation (A):
PE = 50 * 1.5 = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>
Answer: D.) 39,200 J
Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height. In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:

P.E.= 39,200 Joules
