Lizbeth Chandler · Answer 1

the work againts gravity is zero (0)

Explanation:

This is because the work is always done, by a force that acts parallel in the direction of the displacement of the body.

In this case, the gravity and the weight of the bag is not acting in the direction of the displacement, therefore there is no work done.
