No, work is not done when holding an object still. Work is defined as force applied over a distance, so if the object is not moving, no work is being done.
The answer is 0. If you used the formula of =>mgh, you would get a value which would be wrong. The question is a trick question. There is no work done in 'holding' an object but work would be done in 'lifting' an object. Hence, 0. ~Dartz
Yes, work can still be done even if there is no motion. Work is defined as the force applied over a distance, so as long as there is a force acting on an object in the direction of the force, work is being done. If an object is stationary but has a force applied to it, work is still being done even though there is no motion.
If no work was done, the object must not have moved in the direction of the force. This could happen if the force was applied perpendicular to the object's motion or if the object remained stationary.
No the work done is still positive, the force exerted and the work done to exert that force is still the same. Its just that the other object is exerting more of a force on the object doing the work.
Some examples of situations where no work is done include holding a book in a stationary position, pushing against a wall that does not move, and carrying a backpack while standing still. In these cases, although there may be physical effort involved, no work is being done because there is no displacement of an object in the direction of the force applied.
No, work is only done when an object is moved.

It's a play on words (try holding a weight steady at arms length) that's totally dependent on the definition of "work".
when a force acts to move an object,we say that work was done on the object

False. Work is done whenever a force is applied to an object and there is a displacement in the direction of the applied force, whether the object moves in that direction or not. In cases where the object does not move, work is still done as long as there is a force applied over a distance.
Work is not done on an object when there is no displacement of the object in the direction of the force applied. In other words, if the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, no work is done. Additionally, if there is no force acting on an object, no work is being done on it.
No, work is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. If the object does not move, then work is not done on the object.
Work is done on an object when a force is applied to the object and the object moves in the direction of the force. The work done is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
