Answer:
work = 0
Explanation:
Let’s remember that work is defined as the product of a force by a distance. Distance is the physical path displaced by the body under the action of that force.
W = F * d
where:
W = work [J]
F = force [N]
d = distance [m]
In this case, the toy is held at a height, there is no displacement from one point to another. So there is no work and this is equal to zero.
W = (2*9.81) * 0 = 0 [Joules]
