A tank in the shape of a right circular cone of height 12 ft and radius 3 ft is
inserted into the ground with its vertex pointing down and its top at ground level,
as shown in the figure below. If the tank is filled with water (weight density
δ = ρg = 62.4 lb/ft3 ) to a depth of 6 ft, how much work is performed in pumping
all the water in the tank to ground level? What changes if the water is pumped to
a height of 3 ft above ground level?

Modeling Fluid Pressure and Force
 Water pressure increases with depth.
 Pascal’s principle: any point in a liquid the pressure is the same in all
directions.

If a plate with surface area A is submerged


horizontally at a depth h in a fluid, the
force exerted by the fluid on the surface
of the plate is

F = PA = (δh)A = ρghA

where
P = δh is the pressure,
δ = ρg is the weight density,
ρ is the mass density,
g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Fluid Force
If a plate is submerged vertically in a fluid of a weight density δ = ρg (lb/ft3 ) and
that the submerged portion of the plate extends from h = a to h = b on the vertical
axis.

Then the total force F exerted by the


fluid is given by
Z b
F = δhL(h)dh (20)
a

where
h is the depth
L(h) is the corresponding length of
a typical horizontal approximating
strip.

Theorem of Pappus
The solid generated by revolving a region R about a line outside its boundary (but
in the same plane) has volume V = As, where A is the area of R and s is the
distance traveled by the centroid of R.

A torus is formed by rotating a circle of radius r about a line in the plane of the
circle that is a distance R (R > r ) from the center of the circle. Find the volume
of the torus.
