Homework Statement

What is the Gravitational Potential Energy on an Incline? Is it still mgh?

Relevant Equations

U=mgh

Hi,

When regarding Gravitational Potential Energy, I know the formula is U=mgh. However, when the object is on an incline (say at an angle of 52 degrees) would it still be mgh or something else? (This isn't homework I simply was just curious).
