If the speed is constant, the acceleration a must be zero. Since force F = m•a, the total force must be zero.
In a 1D case, work W is the product of force F and distance d: W = F • d.
Since there is no more information given about friction or air resistance, I have to assume you are looking for the work done by the total force, wich is also zero.
