An open tank has the shape of a right circular cone. The tank is 8 feet across the top and 6 feet high. How much work is done in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge? (The weight-density of water is 62.4 pounds per cubic foot.)

As per forum rules, you should post any standard equations you deem possibly relevant, and you must show some attempt.
 
Please post in the appropriate homework forum, with the template filled out, including an attempt at a solution.
