1. **State the problem:** We need to find the potential energy (PE) of an object with mass $1.0$ kg at point A, where the height is approximately $6$ m.
2. **Formula for potential energy:**
$$PE = mgh$$
where $m$ is mass, $g$ is acceleration due to gravity, and $h$ is height.
3. **Given values:**
- Mass $m = 1.0$ kg
- Gravity $g = 10.00$ m/s²
- Height at point A $h = 6$ m
4. **Calculate potential energy:**
$$PE = 1.0 \times 10.00 \times 6 = 60$$
5. **Interpretation:** The potential energy at point A is $60$ joules.
This matches the graph label near point A, confirming our calculation.
