Problem 5

An aquarium shaped like an inverted cone has a height of 8 8 m\(\text{m}\) and a base radius of 2 2 m\(\text{m}\). If the aquarium is full of water, how much work is required to pump all the water to the top of the aquarium and out? (Use 1000kg/m3 1000\, \(\text{kg/m}\)^3 for water density and g=9.8m/s2 g = 9.8\, \(\text{m/s}\)^2 ).
