wait i am posting the entire soln.
TWO CYLINDERS OF EQUAL CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA A CONTAIN WATER UPTO HEIGHTS h1 AND h2.THE VESSELS ARE INTERCONNECTED SO THAT THE LEVEL IN THEM BECOME EQUAL.CALCULATE THE WORK DONE BY GRAVITY IN THE PROCESS.(DENSITY OF WATER=p)

initial energy of the system = (ÏAh1)*g*(h1/2) + (ÏAh2)*g*(h2/2)
final energy of the system = 2*(ÏA(h1 + h2)/2)*g*((h1 + h2)/4)
W done by gravity = (ÏA)*g*((h12/2) + (h22/2)) - (ÏA)*g*((h12 + h22 + 2h1h2)/4)
(1/4 )*(ÏA)*g*(h1 - h2)2
