No, actually it means it is lying on the side that is 20ft. I think I got the answer, though. I needed to do my distance from (10 - y) because the origin is in the middle.
Homework Statement
A cylindrical storage tank 8 feet in diameter and 20 feet long is lying horizontally on the ground. The tank is full of olive oil whose weight density is 57 lb/ft^3. How much work does it take to pump the olive oil to a level of 6 feet above the top of the tank?

Hi everyone.
I have a very similar problem to the one kuahji posted, but my problem is a storage tank completely full of oil. Would I then calculate using (6+8 -y) or (14-y) or would I use the same (10-y)? Also, wouldn't my integral be from -4 to 4 ( or 2* [0 to 4])? Thanks for any help!
