We present a measurement of the potential energy of an ultracold trapped gas of K-40 atoms in the BCS-BEC crossover and investigate the temperature dependence of this energy at a wide Feshbach resonance, where the gas is in the unitarity limit. In particular, we study the ratio of the potential energy in the region of the unitarity limit to that of a noninteracting gas, and in the T=0 limit we extract the universal many-body parameter beta. We find beta=-0.54(-0.12)(+0.05); this value is consistent with previous measurements using Li-6 atoms and also with recent theory and Monte Carlo calculations. This result demonstrates the universality of ultracold Fermi gases in the strongly interacting regime.
