[8] 6. A tank in the shape of a hemispherical bowl of radius 3 m, with an outlet that rises 2 m above its top (see the diagram below), is full of water. Using the fact that the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 , find the work (in Joules) required to pump all the water out of the outlet. You may use the value g = 9.8 m/s^2 for the acceleration due to gravity. You do not need to simplify your answer, but you must completely evaluate any integral(s) that arise. Answer
3 m
2 m

[6] 7. Let I =
1 (1/x)^ dx. (a) [2] Write down the trapezoidal approximation T 4 for I. You do not need to simplify your answer.
(b) [2] Write down the Simpson’s approximation S 4 for I. You do not need to simplify your answer.
(c) [2] Without computing I, find an upper bound for |I − S 4 |. You may use the fact that if |f (4)(x)| ≤ K on the interval [a, b], then the error in using Sn to approximate
(^) b a f^ (x)^ dx has absolute value less than or equal to K(b − a)^5 / 180 n^4.
