Easy! Use the formula PE = mgh. Just multiply the mass (m), gravitational acceleration (g, typically 9.8 m/s²), and height (h). Voilà, you've got it!

From personal experience, I always double-check my units—make sure mass is in kilograms, height in meters, and g is 9.8 m/s². It avoids those embarrassing mistakes!

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is calculated with PE = mgh. Plug in your mass (m) in kilograms, gravitational acceleration (g) usually 9.8 m/s², and height (h) in meters. Simple as that!
