Answer:

0 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is the product of force applied and the distance moved by the object.

In this case, the force applied on the refrigerator is 1500 N

The refrigerator did not move, thus no distance , hence distance is zero

The formula for work done:

W = F*d

W= 1500 * 0

W= 0 J
