Explanation:

To calculate the work done in lifting the bag of sugar, we need to use the formula W = Fd, where W is the work done, F is the force applied, and d is the displacement in the direction of the force.

In this case, the force required to lift the bag is the gravitational force acting on it, which is Fg = mg, where m is the mass of the bag (25 kg) and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2).

Therefore, Fg = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s2) = 245 N.

Now, the displacement in the direction of the force is the height lifted, which is 1 meter.

Therefore, the work done in lifting the bag of sugar is W = Fg x d = (245 N)(1 m) = 245 joules, not 25 joules.
