A trcuk exerts 2700 N of force on a car that is stuck in the mud, and does not move. How much work has the truck performed? Show work please!

I believe the correct answer would be zero. The work done in the truck is equal zero since the truck is not moving. Work by definition is the product of force and distance traveled due to the force. In this case, distance is zero giving us a zero work. Hope this helps.
