Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
|
If you are stuck, check the hints below. Read the first one and consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! If after a while you are still stuck, go for the next hint. |
Hint 1 |
|---|
|
The work done by a force in moving an object from to is (Ref. CLP–II INTEGRAL CALCULUS) |
Hint 2 |
|---|
|
Use the Newton's second law of motion to find the force. |
Hint 3 |
|---|
|
Recall that . |
|
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used all the hints, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

From the part (i), the volume of a cylindrical pancake at the height from is Combining with the constant density of the fluid , the mass of the pancake is Then, by Newton's second law of motion with , we can raise the pancake by applying the compensating force to the pancake Finally, to move the fluid in the pancake at height out of the reservoir, we need to raise , so that the required work is Integrating it in the range , the work required to pump all the fluid out of the top of the reservoir is Answer: |
