Pumping a conical tank A right-circular conical tank, point down, with top radius 5 ft and height 10 ft is filled with a liquid whose weight-density is 60 lb/ft³. How much work does it take to pump the liquid to a point 2 ft above the tank? If the pump is driven by a motor rated at 275 ft-lb/sec (1/2 hp), how long will it take to empty the tank? Must work the integral out by hand and show all steps.

Verify that work input equals work output for a hydraulic system assuming no losses due to fiction. Do this by showing that distance output force moves is reduced by the same factor output force is increased. Assume the volume of the fluid is constant. What effect would friction within the fluid and between components in the system have output force? How would this depend on whether or not fluid is moving?
A tank, shaped like a cone has height 4 meter and base radius 1 meter. It is placed so that the circular part is upward. It is full of water, and we have to pump it all out by a pipe that is always leveled at the surface of the water. Assume that a cubic meter of water weighs 10000N, i.e. the density of water is 10000N/m3. How much work does it require to pump all water out of the tank? Enter the exact value of your answer.
Hoover Dam on the Colorado River is the highest dam in the United States at 221m, with a power output of 680 MW. The dam generates electricity by flowing water down to a point 150 m below the stop, at an average flow rate of 650 m3/s. Calculate the power in this flow in watts. What is the ratio of this power to the facility's average of 680MW?
Application of Integration: A tank in the form of an inverted right-circular cone is 8m across the top and 10m deep. The tank is filled to a height of 8m with oil weighing 950kg/m3. Find the work done in pumping all the oil to the top of the tank. Note: g 9.8 m/s2
A water tank is shaped like an inverted cone with height 6 m and base radius 1.5 m (as shown). a. If the tank is full, how much work is required to pump the water to the level of the top of the tank and out of the tank? b. Is it true that it takes half as much work to pump the water out of the tank when it is filled to half its depth as when it is full? Explain.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 24 f t, the sides are 5 f t high, and the depth of the water is 4 f t. How much work is required to pump all of the water out over the side? Use the fact that water weighs 62.5 lb/f t3 and g=1. Note: Just set up the integral. Do not evaluate it
When you urinate, you increase pressure in your bladder to produce the flow. For an elephant, gravity does the work. An elephant urinates at a remarkable rate of 0.0060 m3m3 (a bit over a gallon and a half) per second. Assume that the urine exits 1.0 mm below the bladder and passes through the urethra, which we can model as a tube of diameter 8.0 cmcm and length 1.2 mm. Assume that urine has the same density as water, and that viscosity can be ignored for this flow. What is the speed of the flow? If we assume that the liquid is at rest in the bladder (a reasonable assumption) and that the pressure where the urine exits is equal to atmospheric pressure, what does Bernoulli's equation give for the gauge pressure in the bladder?
A centrifugal pump provides a flow rate of 500 GPM when operating at 1760 rpm against a 200 ft head. Determine the pump's, a) Flow rate b) Developed head c) Pump power if the speed is increased to 3500 rpm?
A water tank has the shape of the bottom half of a sphere with a radius of 4meters. It is currently filled with water to a height of 3 meters, which has a density of1000 kg/m^3(you may use 9.8 m/sec^2 as the acceleration due to gravity).Set up, but do not evaluate, the integral formula to compute the amount of work requiredto empty the tank by pumping all of the water to the top of the tank.(Hint: the cross-section perpendicular to the y-axis which is y meters below the top ofthe tank will be a circle with radius psqrt(16 − y^2).
