The 7.75kg book as a PE of 113.93 joules and the 9.53kg book has a PE of 163.44 joules.
A difference of 49.51 joules.
the units for gravitational potential energy is joules (j)
Gravitational Force, F, is the derivative of Gravitational Energy E; F=XE = (d/dr + Del)E. Energy has units of Joules and Force has units of Newtons.
Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 3 x 9.8 x 8 = 235.2 joules.
At 100 meters this rock's potential energy is 980 joules.

they are both measured in joules
Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 3 x 9.8 x 8 = 235.2 joules.
At 100 meters this rock's potential energy is 980 joules.
If Gravitational potential energy = weight X height, then the book should gain 4joules

For every meter it's raised, it gains 833 more joules of gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy depends on the difference of height. If the length of the ramp is changed, but the endpoints have the same difference in height, there won't be any change in gravitational potential energy. If, on the other hand, the change is done in a way that the height does change, then gravitational potential energy will also change.
Yes, the gravitational potential energy is increased. The potential energy in joules is equal to mgh (mass * gravity * height), so increasing the height increases this energy.
Potential energy is measure in Joules (J). A Joule is a Newton*meter (N*m)
U = m g h Where U is Gravitational Potential Energy (measured in Joules) m is Mass (measured in kilograms) g is Gravitational Acceleration (~9.8 meters/second2) h is height (measured in meters)
