Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are tasked with setting up the integral that represents the work required to pump all the water out of a cylindrical tank.
Problem Breakdown:
-
Tank Dimensions:
- Height ft.
- Radius ft.
- Filled with water up to 4 ft (depth of water is ft).
-
Water Properties:
- Weight density of water .
-
Reference:
- is the bottom of the tank.
- The water must be pumped to a height of ft above the bottom.
Work Formula:
The work to pump a small slice of water at height to the top of the tank is given by: We'll integrate over the height of the water to find the total work.
Step-by-Step Setup:
-
Volume of a Thin Slice: A thin slice of water at height has:
- Thickness .
- Cross-sectional area of the tank .
Volume of the slice:
-
Weight of the Slice: The weight of the slice is the volume multiplied by the weight density: [ \text{Weight} = \rho \cdot \text{Volume} = 62.4 \cdot 9\pi
