Homework Statement
There is a swimming pool with length 30ft, width 16ft, and height 10ft. How much work is done to pump all of the water out of the pool assuming that the density of water is 62.4 and that the pump of the hose floats at the level of water at all time.
Then find the answer if the pump hose lies at the bottom of the pool.
Homework Equations
Work=Force*Distance
The Attempt at a Solution
The first part is straight forward enough: 16*30*62.4*(100/2)=1497600 ft-lbs
But I'm having trouble understanding the solution to the second part:
16*30*62.4 [tex]\int^{10}_{0}[/tex] 10dh
Can someone explain to me why you would integrate 10? Thanks for the help.
