In a cylindrical vessel of radius R, partially filled with liquid of density ρ\rho, there is a hole in the side wall plugged by a cork. What work must be done to push the stopper to length l? The cork is a cylinder of radius r. The center of the hole is at depth h. The vessel is high enough so that the liquid does not pour out of it. Do not consider friction.
