The potential energy acquired by the hammer can be calculated using the formula:
P.E. = m x g x h
Where:
m = 0.75 kg (mass of the hammer)
g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)
h = 0.35 m (height raised)
P.E. = 0.75 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 0.35 m
P.E. = 2.5875 Joules
Therefore, the potential energy acquired by the hammer is 2.5875 Joules.
