AI Generated Solution

To find the increase in gravitational potential energy (ΔPE) when a boy weighing 25 kgf climbs from a height of 3 m to a height of 9 m, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the weight from kgf to Newtons The weight of the boy is given as 25 kgf. To convert this to Newtons, we use the relation: \[ \text{Weight (W)} = \text{mass (m)} \times g \] Given that \( g = 10 \, \text{N/kg} \): ...
