How much work is performed in pumping 3 ft of water from the tank?
At what point is 1/2 of the total work done?
22.
A gasoline tanker is filled with gasoline with a weight density of 45.93 lb⁄ft3. The dispensing valve at the base is jammed shut, forcing the operator to empty the tank via pumping the gas to a point 1 ft above the top of the tank.
