Answer:

No work was done.

W = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is said to be done whenever a force of one newton moves a body of one kilogram through a distance of one meter. Meaning the applied force has to move the body from a point of rest through certain distance.

Work = force × distance

So, in the case of this question, we only have the force been applied, but no distance was covered. Hence, no work was done.

W = 3000× 0 meter

W = 0
