A triangular moat is dug around a point. If the x-axis represents the ground, the triangle is bounded by points (0,2), (3,2), (1,0)(0,2), \, (3,2), \, (1,0), and the axis of rotation is x=4x=4.
(a) How much water is required to fill the moat? (Provide an exact answer only.)
(b) How much work is required to empty the moat, if the pump empties three metres above the ground? (The density of water is 1.) (Leave your answer in terms of π,g\pi, g.)
