The work done in this case is 0.
here, the direction of displacement is along the tangent while the direction of force is towards the center of the earth. Since, the direction of force in this case is perpendicular to the direction of displacement, the work done is 0.
In this case the mass, distance and time do not affect the work done.
Hope this helps.
