Note that for this exercise (0,0) is at the bottom of the tank. A tank with cross-sectional area the shape of an isosceles trapezoid is shown below. Suppose the height of the tank is H=5m, the width at the top is W=3m, the width at the bottom is B=1m, the overall length is L=9m, and the pipe coming out of the top of the tank is P=0.9m. Moreover, suppose the tank is initially only partially filled with brine to a depth of D=1m. a. Set up an integral with respect to y representing the amount of work necessary to completely empty the tank. You will need to use the facts that the denisty of brine is 1230kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. Answers should be in exact form (i.e., do not use a calculator to get a decimal approximation). y=y=?dy b. Evaluate your integral from part a. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. W=
