No, work is not done whenever you hold a heavy object for a long time
<h3>What is work done ?</h3>
The result of a force's displacement and its component of force exerted by the object in the direction of displacement is what is known as the force's work. When we push a block with some force, the body moves quickly and work is completed.
No work, as that term is used here, is done until the object is moved in some way and a component of the force travels along the path that the object is moved. Because there is no displacement when holding a heavyobject still, energy is not transferred to it.
