Determine the work to empty a parabolic tank filled with wat
Determine the work to empty a parabolic tank filled with water which can be seen as the rotation about the y-axis of the function
y = (1/8)*x^2
on the interval 0 <= x <= 8. Note: Water weighs 62.4{lb/ft}^3.
y = (1/8)*x^2
on the interval 0 <= x <= 8. Note: Water weighs 62.4{lb/ft}^3.
Solution
using disc method volume=5000/(9*pi) mass=108908.545 lb now we can easily find work
