Water is raised from a well 40 ft deep by a bucket attached


Question: Water is raised from a well 40 ft deep by a bucket attached to a rope. When the bucket is full, it weighs 30 lb. However, a leak in the bucket causes it to lose water at a rate of 1/4 lb for each foot that the bucket is raised. Neglecting the weight of the rope, find the work done in raising the bucket to the top.
