3292.8J

Explanation:

if we take the ground level as the zeroth level of gravitational potential energy, then the potential energy that get stored in the object when you lift it 21m is the work you should do.

W= mgh
where W represents the work you should do..

W= 16kg* 9.8ms^"-2" *21m

W= 3292.8 J
