Mass of the book is \"\" kg.

\

Height of the person is \"\" m.

\

Person lifting the book from the ground.

\

Height of the book  above the ground is \"\" m.

\

Potential energy of the object is \"\".

\

Where \"\"mass of the object and \"\"height of the object.

\

1)

\

Find the potential energy of the book relative to the ground.

\

Height of the book  above the ground is \"\" m.

\

Substitute \"\", \"\" and \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

2)

\

Find the potential energy of the book relative to the top of the persons head.

\

Whenever calculting potential energy relative to the top of the person\"\"s head consider the height of the

\

object above the person\"\"s head.

\

Height of the object above the person\"\"s head is \"\" m.

\

Substitute \"\", \"\" and \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

3)

\

The work done by the person in lifting the book from the ground to the final height is the same as the answer to part (A).

\

In part (A), the potential energy is calculated relative to the starting location of the application of the force on the book.

\

The work done by the person is not related to the answer to part (B).
