The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

[tex]\boxed{GPE = mgh}[/tex]

where:

GPE = gravitational potential energy

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for GPE

GPE = mgh

GPE = (15 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(15 m)

[tex]\boxed{GPE = \text{2,205 J}}[/tex]

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the flower pot is 2,205 J.
