How Do You Find the Potential Energy?
Easy peasy! You can find the potential energy with the formula PE = mgh. Just multiply the mass (m) by the gravitational acceleration (g, which is 9.8 m/s² on Earth), and the height (h) above the reference point. Voila!

Speaking from experience, I always use PE = mgh when analyzing mechanical systems in my engineering projects. Just gotta know your mass, gravity, and height!
Just use PE = mgh and call it a day. Works every time for gravitational potential energy!
Potential energy is found with PE = mgh where m = mass in kg, g = 9.8 m/s², and h = height in meters. Einstein would be proud!
PE = mgh. That’s it. Done.
