A 10ft trough filled with water has a semicircular cross section of diameter 4ft. How much work is done in pumping all the water over the edge of the trough? Assume that water weighs 62.5 lb/ft^3.
Confused on how to set up the equation(s). I know:
W= int [a,b] p(h-y) A(y) dy
A= pi*r^2 /2 (since it is a semicircle)
= 6.28
