A conical container of radius 6 ft and height 24 ft is filled to a height of 19 ft of a liquid weighing 64.4 lb divided by ft cubed. How much work will it take to pump the contents to the rim? How much work will it take to pump the liquid to a level of 5 ft above the cone's rim?

Part (i) work required to pump the contents to the rim is 281,913.733 lb.ft

Part (ii) work required to pump the liquid to a level of 5ft above the cone's rim is 426,484.878 lb.ft

Explanation:

The center of mass of a uniform solid right circular cone of height h lies on the axis of symmetry at a distance of h/4 from the base and 3h/4 from the top.

Center mass of the liquid Z = (24-19)ft + 19/4 = 5ft + 4.75ft = 9.75 ft

Mass of liquid in the cone = volume × density (ρ) =  ¹/₃.π.r².h.ρ

where;

r is the radius of the liquid surface = [6*(19/24)]ft = 4.75ft

ρ is the density of liquid = 64.4 lb/ft³

h is the height of the liquid = 19 ft

Mass of liquid in the cone = ¹/₃ × π × (4.75)² × 19 × 64.4 = 28,914.229 lbs

Part (i)  work required to pump the contents to the rim

Work required = 28,914.229 lbs × 9.75 ft = 281,913.733 lb.ft

Part (ii) work required to pump the liquid to a level of 5 ft above the cone's rim

Extra work required = 28,914.229 lb ×  5ft = 144571.145 lb.ft

Total work required = (281,913.733 +  144571.145) lb.ft

                                 = 426,484.878 lb.ft
