Missing information:

The mass of the object is 15 kg.

Answer:

18.7 m

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

[tex]U=mgh[/tex]

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object, relative to the ground

In this problem, we know:

U = 2750 J is the potential energy of the object

[tex]g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

m = 15 kg is the mass of the object

Solving for h, we find the height of the shelf:

[tex]h=\frac{U}{mg}=\frac{2750}{(15)(9.8)}=18.7 m[/tex]
