When lifting a bag of sugar up to the shelf.First one shelf then lifted to the second shelf higher shelf based on the numbers from work calculations which is correct - the amount of work is the same all at once or in two stages, provided the total height lifted is the same in either case?

The amount of work is the same regardless of whether the bag of sugar is lifted up to the higher shelf all at once or in two stages, as long as the total height lifted is the same in either case. This is because work is the product of force and displacement, and the only force acting on the bag of sugar is gravity. Since the displacement remains constant, the work done is also constant regardless of the method of lifting.
Yes it is the same in either case.
Yes, that is correct. The amount of work done in lifting the bag of sugar to the higher shelf is the same whether it is done all at once or in two stages, as long as the total height lifted is the same.
It is the same.
Apologies for the repetitiveness in my previous responses. Yes, the amount of work is indeed the same whether the bag of sugar is lifted to the higher shelf all at once or in two stages, as long as the total height lifted remains constant.
