A trough is 6 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and 4 meters deep. The vertical cross-section of the trough parallel to an end is shaped like an isoceles triangle (with height 4 meters, and base, on top, of length 2.5 meters). The trough is full of water (density 1000kgm31000kgm3 ). Find the amount of work in joules required to empty the trough by pumping the water over the top. (Note: Use g=9.8ms2g=9.8ms2 as the acceleration due to gravity.)
