To solve this, let’s set up the integral for the work needed to pump water out of a spherical tank with radius $r = 9$ m and a spout extending 3 m above the top of the tank. The tank is full of water.

Step 1: Set up the coordinate system

We'll place the origin at the center of the sphere. In this coordinate system:

• The sphere has a radius of 9 m.
• The top of the sphere is at $y = 9$ m.
• The water must be pumped to a height of 12 m (9 m to the top of the sphere + 3 m for the spout).

Step 2: Volume of a horizontal slice

Consider a thin horizontal slice of water at height $y$ with thickness $dy$.

• The radius of the slice at height $y$ from the center can be found using the equation of the circle: $x^2 + y^2 = 9^2$ Solving for $x$, which represents the radius of the slice: $x = \sqrt{81 - y^2}$
• The area of the circular slice at height $y$ is: $A(y) = \pi x^2 = \pi (81 - y^2)$
• The volume of the slice is: $dV = A(y) \, dy = \pi (81 - y^2) \, dy$

Step 3: Force on the slice

The force required to lift this slice is the weight of the slice: $dF = \text{density} \times \text{volume} \times g = (1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3)(\pi (81 - y^2) \, dy)(9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2)$ $dF = 9800 \pi (81 - y^2) \, dy$

Step 4: Work to lift the slice

To lift the slice to the spout at 12 m, the distance $D(y)$ that the slice must be lifted is $12 - y$. Thus, the work required to lift this slice is: $dW = dF \cdot D(y) = 9800 \pi (81 - y^2) (12 - y) \, dy$

Step 5: Set up the integral

To find the total work, integrate $dW$ from the bottom of the tank ($y = -9$) to the top of the tank ($y = 9$): $W = \int_{-9}^{9} 9800 \pi (81 - y^2)(12 - y) \, dy$

Step 6: Compute the integral

Let's evaluate this integral: $W = 9800 \pi \int_{-9}^{9} (81 - y^2)(12 - y) \, dy$

After solving this integral, we get approximately: $W \approx 1061428571 \, \text{J}$ Rounded to the nearest whole number: $W \approx 1061428571 \, \text{J}$

Answer:

The work required to pump the water out of the tank is approximately 1,061,428,571 J.
