    The increase in the gravitational potential energy of the man-earth system is 4473.36 J

    Explanation:

    Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

    Mass = 114 kg

    Height = 4 m

    Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

    Substituting

    Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

    Potential energy = 114 x 9.81 x 4

    Potential energy = 4473.36 J

    The increase in the gravitational potential energy of the man-earth system is 4473.36 J
