    Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).

    Originally,

    15kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.

    After it is moved to a 1m shelf:

    15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2 = 147 Joules.

    To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:

    147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.
