Answer: None

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the wall did not move, it does not matter how much force you generated. You did no work in the physics sense.

Work is calculated by multiplying the displacement by the force. Since there was no displacement (no movement) we put the value as 0. 0 times anything is still 0, as shown below.

2500 N * 0 = 0.

You did no work, or 0 J of work.
