Work done to pump water out of tank
Not what you're looking for?
Would like second opinion or other way to solve problem, hopefully using Disk method - OTA #103642 answered last time. Perhaps OTA #103642 could send me email regarding this formula?
Problem - A tank is in the shape of an inverted cone (pointy at the top) 6 feet high and 8 feet across at the base. The tank is filled to a depth of 3 feet. How much work is done in emptying tank through a hole at the top? (weight density of water is 62.4 lb/ft^3). Use force=density*area and disk method if possible - need simplicity and step by step understanding - Thanks!

Hi,
In my last response I forgotten to multiply by a factor 32 ft/s^2(==g)
So the correct answer will be:
m*g = d* integral[0 to 3]{dV}*32 = d*(4*pi/9)*63*32
where, d = wight density of water = 62.4 lb/ft^3
hence,
work done = 62.4*(4*pi/9)*63*32*1.17857 = 207007 lb-ft^2/s^2 --Answer
hence in SI ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
