Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that (a) $U_{33}=mg\Delta y$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $U_{33}=62KJ$ (b) $U_{59}=mg\Delta y$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $U_{59}=(55)(9.8)(3.5)=111KJ$ (c) $U_{street}=mg\Delta y$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $U_{street}=(55)(9.8)(0.0)=0.0KJ$
