Answer:
The potential energy of the hiker is 
. 
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the hiker, m = 61 kg
Height above sea level, h = 1900 m
We need to find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington. The potential energy is given by :

g is the acceleration due to gravity

So, the potential energy of the hiker is 
. Hence, this is the required solution.
