A tank containing oil is in the shape of a downward-pointing cone with its vertical axis perpendicular to ground level. (See a graph of the tank here.) In this exercise we will assume that the height of the tank is 10 ft , the circular top of the tank has radius 5 ft, and that the oil inside the tank weighs 56 lb per cubic ft. How much work does it take to pump oil from the tank to an outlet that is 3 ft above the top of the tank if, prior to pumping, there is only a half-tank of oil? Note: "half-tank" means half the volume in the tank.
