Joe leans against a lamp-post with a force of 200 n. the lamp-post does not move. how much work is done by the car? explain your answer. work done = force (n) x distance (m)

In physics, a force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force. It is expressed as Work done = force (N) X distance (m). From the problem statement, the distance traveled is zero. Therefore, the work done is zero as well.
