Place a cylinder on the origin of an x-y axis
Work = Force×Distance
ΔForce = Weight× ΔVolume = Density ×AreaΔy
Area = πr2=100π
Density×Area = 1000 × 9.8(100π) = 980000 π = K
a)
Distance to move a cylindrical disk = 4-y
W = K∫2.50 (4-y) dy
b) Distance = 5-y
W = K∫2.50 (5-y) dy
Can you evaluate these integrals?
