The work is $=1.568J$

enter image source here

The load L=(4g)N#

Radius of axle $r=0.16m$

Radius of wheel $R=0.08m$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F*R=L*r$

$F*0.08=4*g*0.16$

$F=(4*g*0.16)/0.08=78.4N$

The force is $=78.4N$

The work is

$W=F*d$

The distance is $=0.02m$

The work is

$W=78.4*0.02=1.568J$
