The tank is a cylinder lying horizontally on its side and is completely filled with gasoline. The radius of the cylinder is 5 ft and its length is 15 ft. The gas station stores its gasoline in this tank. To find the total work needed to pump the gasoline out of the tank, we need to know that the gasoline in the tank weighs 42 lb per cubic foot.

A gas station stores its gasoline in a tank under the ground. The tank is a cylinder lying horizontally on its side. (In other words, the tank is not standing vertically on one of its flat ends.) If the radius of the cylinder is 4 feet, its length is 12 feet, and its top is 10 feet under the ground, find the total amount of work needed to pump the gasoline out of the tank. (Gasoline weighs $\left.42 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3} .\right)$
