24. [10 pts] A cone container of top radius 4 m and height 8 m is fully filled with water. A ball of
radius 3 m is inserted slowly as far as possible into the container to expel as much water as possible.

(a) Find the amount of water spilled out of the container. [5 pts]
Solution
The amount of water expelled is the volume of the part of the ball inside the container, sitting
on the surface of the container. If h is the distance of the center of the ball from the bottom
tip of the container, √
h 82 + 42 √
= ⇐⇒ h = 3 5

The amount of water spilled out is:

Or whatever correct way to do it.

(b) Take your answer in part (a), or just denote it by V , and remove the ball from the cone
container. Express the work required to pump all the remaining water (water density denoted
by ρ, gravity acceleration denoted by g) to the top of the container by an integral. You do
not need to evaluate the integral. [5 pts]
Solution
After removing the ball, the depth of water remaining in the container H and the radius of
the surface of the water r satisfies
