As the water is leaking uniformly out of the bucket.
 
So the mass of the bucket is varying uniformly w.r.t height 'h'
 
If we plot the curve for force (along y-axis) versus height (or displacement along x-axis). Then area under the curve is the work done
 
Here area under the curve will be = (1/2) base*altitude
 
or W = (1/2)*(20m)*(20g-10g)N = 100g Joules = 1000 Joules

The Scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, & he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Ofcourse I do not here speak of that beauty that strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities & appearances; not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmoniuos order of the parts, & which a pure intelligence can grasp.
