A spherical tank of radius 100ft is full of gasoline weighing 40 pounds per cubic feet how much work is done in pumping the gasoline to the top of the tank?

1 answer

why bother? The tank is already full.
But, let's say that you want to pump all the gas up to the top of the tank
total weight: 4/3 π r^3 * density = 167,551,608.91 lbs
moving the center of mass up 100 ft will take 16,755,160,891 ft-lbs of work

You can use calculus and integrate, moving the weight of all the thin slices of gasoline their respective distances, but it will come out the same.
