The work is =2.94J#

enter image source here

The load is $L=5gN$

The radius of the axle is $r=0.24m$

The radius of the wheel is $R=0.12m$

The effort is $=FN$

The acceleration due to gravity is $g=9.8ms^-2$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F*0.12=5g*0.24$

$F=5g*0.24/0.12=98N$

The force is $F=98N$

The distance is $d=0.03m$

The work is $W=Fd=98*0.03=2.94J$
