A water tank is in the shape of a right circular cone with height 18 ft and radius 12 ft at the top. If it is filled with water to a depth of 15 ft, find the work done in pumping all of the water over the top of the tank.

210,600πft-lb

Explanation:

Force is a function F(x) of position x then in moving from

x = a to x= b

Work done =

Consider a water tank conical in shape

we will make small horizontal section of the water at depth h and thickness dh and also assume radius at depth h is w

we will have ,

weight of slice under construction

weight = volume × density × gravitational constant

Now we can find work done

=

= 210,600πft-lb

the ima (higher than 1m) will be greater than the ima with the height of 1m.
