Work = integral [ (9 -y) dm g ] : limits 0 to 4
Where the infinitesimal of mass dm is given by dm = pi x^2 rho dy
But x^2 = a y so
Work = integral [ (9-y) g rho pi a y dy ] : limits 0 to 4
The integral of y is easy to carry out resulting in
Work = pi a g rho [ (9/2) y^2 – (1/3) y^3 ] evaluated at upper limit of y =4
Work = pi a g rho 152/3
Plugging for pi, a, g and rho gives
Work = 1591 kJ
