Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy:GPE = mgh
Earth's gravity is around 9.8 newton/kilogram (it varies a bit, depending where you are located).
The answer will be in joules.

What is the potential energy of 37 Newtons to a height of 3 meters?
The potential energy (PE) is 110.93 Joules, using 9.8 as the acceleration of gravity.
How to Determine elastic potential energy?
The potential energy is the product of the force required to compress or stretch the elastic medium, and the distance of travel. If the force is measured in Newtons and the movement in meters, the work done will be in Joules.
What is the potential energy of a 20 kg safe sitting on a shelf 05 meters above the ground?

What is the potential energy of a ten kg rock that is sitting on a hill that is 300 meters high?
The rock's PE is 29400 joules.
When the flower pot in problem 3 is only 10 meters from the ground what is its potential energy?
I think we have the same question, Potential Energy = Weight X Height. It weighs 3 Newtons and is 10 meters from the ground. 3*10=30. I am pretty sure the answer is: 30J

What is the gravitational potential energy with respect to the surface of the water of a 75.0 kilogram diver located 3.00 meters above the water?
Gravitational potential energy = m*g*h = 75*9.8*3 = 2205 Newtons.
What is the potential energy of a ten kg rock that is sitting on a hill that is 300 meters high?
The rock's PE is 29400 joules.
Do you use 9.8 for potential energy?
9.8 is used, in SI units, for the gravity - this is either 9.8 meters/second2, or the equivalent 9.8 newtons/kg.
What is a skier's gravitational potential energy at 10 meters?
Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy, which is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Close to Earth, gravity is approximately 9.8 newtons/meter.
