A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 10 meters, and the sides of the pool are 5 meters high.
Can you help me figure out if the pool is initially full of water, how much work is done in pumping the water outover the top edge? (Use the fact that water has a density of 1000 kg per ? ! ) and if the pool is initially, half-full of water, how much work is done in pumping the water out over the top edge?
Thank you in advance, I appreciate your help.
Please help me solve this problem with a clear solution. I need asap thank you so much!
