“How much force am I applying here?”
Force = Mass x Acceleration
If he did not move the wall, from a Physics standpoint, no work was done, hence no "force".
At least, that is the answer he was looking for.

You got it ... Zero is the answer he was looking for. The equation he wanted to hear is F = MA.

Force is not work. One can apply whatever force and do no work. Work is force times distance.
