Given information
the shape of tha water tank is given as:
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
At a depth h from the top of the tank (not spout), its height with respect to the bottom is 3-h and the width w of the tank at any level is proportional to the height at that level.
So, find the width w at any depth h, by equating the ratio of widths and heights.
Now,evaluate the mass of an infinitesimally thin layer of water of thickness dh and at a depth h from the top of the tank.
