W = force*distance. V cone = (pi)r^2(h/3) The variables that are changing are the height and the Volume of the cone. You also notice that as the container is drained the radius decreases because the oil level decreases. So, best thing to do is draw a diagram and write out all the variables involved. *Hint for the change in radius think similar triangles. |dw:1404670897450:dw|.
