A trough has a parabolic cross section , where is a constant. The height is meters and the length is meters. The trough is filled with water. For this problem, approximate the weight density of water to be Newtons per cubic meter.


What is the work required to pump the water over the top of the trough?
Work = Newton-meters. (Your answer will involve , , and .)
What is the force due to hydrostatic pressure on one flat parabolic side?
Force = Newtons.
