Volume of the disk is .
Weight of the disk is .
Distance the disk of the water moved is .
Find the value of in terms of
.
.
Now write the force increment as .
Note that distance is moved from the bottom of the tank must be moved to
.
Therefore the increment of the work is .
Substiute the value of and
in the equation
.
Because the tank is half full ranges from
to
.
Now calculate the work required to empty the tank by Substiuting the equation \ \
in equation
.
Apply integration :
\The work required to empty the tank is or
.
