A tank in the form of an inverted right circular cone is 8m across the top and 10m deep. If the tank is filled to a height of 9m with water, find the work done in pumping the water to the top of the tank:
the radius is 4, the depth is 10
so
the coordinates of the line passes through
(4,0) and (0,-10)
Equation of the line is: (y-(-10)) = 5/2(x - 0)
x = 2/5y + 4
work is :
and multiplied by y is the change in length to the top of the cone right?
is the math model correct?
thank you so much

so
the coordinates of the line passes through <---This should be "the line passes through the coordinates"
(4,0) and (0,-10)
Equation of the line is: (y-(-10)) = 5/2(x - 0)
x = 2/5y + 4
work is :
d(W) = 9180pi[(2/5)y + 4)^2ydy
and multiplied by y is the change in length to the top of the cone right?
I assume your 9180 is the density of water in metric,
9180 newton/cu.m.
Should that not be 9800 newton/cu.m. ?
Or, using your numbers, 9810 N/cu.m.?
"the coordinates of the line passes ..."
That should be "the line passes through the coordinates"
"(4,0) and (0,-10)"
That means your (0,0) is the center of the circular top of the cone.
"and multiplied by y is the change in length to the top of the cone right?"
Should be:
"and it is multiplied by (-y) because (-y) is the change in height to the top....."
---------------------------------------------

The y in the "y dy" should be negative. Because all y's below the (0,0) are negative.
The boundaries for integration should be from y = -10 to y = -1.
