Figure C is the cross-section, which is a circle with radius r. Figure B is the right triangle,
which relates to the cross-section with radius r.
In order to calculate work, we must consider our integration bounds. The bottom of the tank
is at (0, -3), and the top of the tank is at (0, 3). Therefore, it is plausible to integrate from
[-3, 3] in respect to y.
Now that we understand that our integration is in respect to y, we must express the area of
the cross-section in terms of y.
Recall that

**Note that gravity is contributing to the production of force in this problem. Therefore, its value
would be 9.8 N/kg.
However, we still need mass. We need to find the mass of water at some y.

The density of water is 1000 /! .

Now we look at the equation for force.

Calculate the value of work.

= 9800(9 ! )(4 ) J
**Note that the product of Newtons and meters is Joules. Hence, the unit J (Joules).
This is the value of work done at some y. However, this does not give us the total work. The
total work is the energy required to pump out all of the water from point a to point b. And the
tank is full with water. All of that water needs to be pumped out, so we need to integrate from
[a,b] to get the total work. In our case, we need to integrate from [-3, 3] in respect to y. Again,
the y-value of -3 is at the bottom of the tank, and the y-value of 3 is at the top of the tank
(excluding the spout).
