The work is $=179.13J$

enter image source here

The load L=(200g)N#

Radius of axle $r=0.08m$

Radius of wheel $R=0.44m$

Taking moments about the center of the axle

$F*R=L*r$

$F*0.44=200*g*0.08$

$F=(200*g*0.08)/0.44=356.4N$

The force is $=346.4N$

The work is

$W=F*d$

The distance is $=2pi*0.08=0.16pim$

The work is

$W=356.4*0.16pi=179.13J$
