The object is not moved against gravity, so zero work was done on gravity.
Work= force*distance*cosAngle where Angle is the angle between force and distance. In this case, the force of gravity and displacement is at 90 degrees. The cosine90 =0
A horizontal force with a magnitude of 3.0 newtons applied to a 7.0 kilogram mass moves the mass horizontally a distance of 2.0 meters. Determine the work done against gravity in moving the mass.
