A trough is 4 m long, 5 m wide, and 2 m deep. The vertical cross-section of the trough
parallel to an end is shaped like an isosceles triangle. The trough is full of water.
5 m
4 m

Tutorial Exercise
A tank is full of water. Find the work W required to pump the water out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Use
1000 kg/m3 as the weight density of water.)
