QUESTION:

Show how to approximate the required work by a Riemann sum. Then express the work as an integral and evaluate it.

A leaky \(10-kg\) bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of \(12 m\) at a constant speed with a rope that weighs \(0.8 kg/m\). Initially the bucket contains \(36 kg\) of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the \(12-m\) level. How much work is done?
