    Work done = mgh where h varies from 0 (at the bottom of the pool) to 5 ft (at the sides of the pool).

    m = density*volume = 62.5*pi*24^2*d/4 = 9000πd lbs

    h = 5-d (the particles at the top of the pool require less work as required to those at the bottom).

    Then,

    WD (E) = 9000πd*9.81 * (5-d) = 88290πd (5-d) = 441450πd-88290πd^2

    Integrating from 0-4 with respect to depth of pool, d

    Total E = {441450π*d^2/2 - 88290π*d^3/} for d between 0 and 4 ft

    E=220725π*d^2 - 29430π*d^3

    Substituting for d=0 ft and d=4 ft;

    = {220725*π*4^2-29430π*4^3} - {220725π*0^2-29430*pi*2*0^3)
