    Worker's change in gravitational potential energy = 641.69 kJ

    Explanation:

    Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

    PE = mgh

    Mass, m = 79 kg

    Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

    Height, h = 828 m

    Potential energy, PE = 79 x 9.81 x 828 = 641691.72 J = 641.69 kJ

    Worker's change in gravitational potential energy = 641.69 kJ
