Answer:
So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order to cause its inward acceleration. This is sometimes referred to as the centripetal force requirement. The word centripetal (not to be confused with the F-word centrifugal) means center seeking.

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>
I think by using data collected by Tycho Brahe
