Answer:

Only if it starts moving

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is defines as
W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta

In two case work done will be zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

What's more, other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, in the event that there is no displacement then there is no work done
