Answer:
trying to push a rock that never moves
Step-by-step explanation:
let me try my best to break the concepts down for you.
the definition of work done is
work done by a constant force on an object is the product of the force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force.
this means that when you apply a force, it must move.
basically it is like holding a book in your hands and not moving, are you fighting the gravitational force?
when you push a box, it definitely moves in the direction you push right?
when you raise the barbel, you are applying a upward force, and barbel us moving upwards, so work is done
hope it helps, if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it
