A trough is 11m long, 5m wide, and 3m deep. The vertical
cross-section of the trough parallel to an end is shaped like an
isoceles triangle (with height 3m, and base, on top, of length 5m).
The trough is full of water (density
1000kg/m3 and
g=9.8m/s2 is the acceleration due to
gravity).
a) Find the amount of work in joules required to empty the trough
by pumping the water over the top.
b) Find the amount of work in joules required to empty the trough
by pumping the water out of a spout 2m high.
