Answer:

No work has been done. 0 newton-meters/joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for work to be done on a object, the object must move.

In this example, the man applies force to the rock, but the rock does not move. Therefore, no work was done.

Use the formula W = F × D.

F = 100 N

D = 0 M

W = 100N × 0M

W = 0NM

Work = 0 newton-meters/joules
