The definition of work is (force) x (distance moved in the direction of the force)

(a) In this case, the force is M*g.
I assume that you know the value of g.
M is the mass. Complete the calculation.

(b) Change the sign of the previous answer. Negative work is done by whatever is lowering the weight.

Force X Displacement
Force=mass X gravity
=> m g s
= 4 x 10 x -1.5
= -60 J

F=mg
m=4kg
g=9.81
W=Fxd
W=4(9.81)(1.5)
=58.86 or 59 J
