Answer:
ERG
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
Bit of work" is a clever play on words where "bit" hints at a small unit, and "work" points to a physics term. In science, an erg is a tiny unit of energy or work, making it a perfect fit. The clue uses the double meaning of "work" (both as labor and the physics concept) to lead you to the answer. It’s a short, punchy definition that relies on technical knowledge.
