Question 1156086: A conical container of radius 6 ft and height 24 ft is filled to a height of 19 ft with a liquid weighing 60.6 lb/ft^3. How much work will it take to pump the liquid to a level of 5 ft above the cone's rim? (Preferably using a definite integral)
The answer is 401,267.6 ft*lb, but I have no idea how this answer was found. I don't understand how liquid could reach a level higher than the rim. Could someone walk me through this mess? Thanks so much for your time. :)

Same with me: I also do not understand what is they are asking about.

Write to the author of this textbook (or inform your professor), pointing this error:

he (or she) will be infinitely grateful to you for pointing the error, and, probably,
will express their gratitude to you by name in the next edition.

Or even will make an offer to you to be their proofreader for the next edition (!)
