Link to originalPumping water from hemispherical tank
A hemispherical tank (radius
) is full of water. A pipe allows water to be pumped out, but requires pumping up above the top of the tank.
- (a) Set up an integral that computes the total work required to pump all the water out of the tank, assuming it is completely full.
- (b) Now assume the tank start out full just to
. What does the integral become?
