Answer: A: 0 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is defined as the force acting on object leading to displacement of that object.

As the worker uses 689.0 N of force to hold 10 stationary beams, there is no displacement of the object.


w=f* s

w = work done

f = force = 689.0 N

s = displacement = 0 m

Thus
w=689.0* 0=0Nm=0Joules
