Solution Preview

Let us consider a layer of water dy thick at a depth y from the top. Let weight of the water in the layer be dw. In order to evacuate this water layer from the top, the water has to be raised to a height of y ft and the work required to be done for doing so is equal to the increase in the potential energy of the water layer.

Work done in raising dw weight of water through a height y ft = ydw

dw = Volume of water in ...
