The work done against the gravitational force is given by :

                                              =   Number of times the weight is lifted \times work done in 1 time.

                                             =\ 1000\times mgh

or                                          =\ 1000\times 10\times 9.8\times 0.5

or                                          =\ 49\ KJ
