Solve for force in a rain gauge.

[techie405]

The .png file attached shows a simple rain gauge where rain water is collected through a funnel of 25cm diameter. As water flows through the sides of the vessel and it fills the vessel it exerts an upward force on the bottom surface of the float. This force is transmitted to the top lid of the vessel(not shown in fig.). Given diameter of the collecting vessel is 13cm and that of the float is 12cm, calculate the force that will be exerted on the lid of the vessel per ml of rain water collected. Neglect weight of the float. Given: volume of float= 1 litre.

Thanks for new icon Kelly!

I guess the "givens" gave it away.

Interesting name for the OP. I would probably, at this stage, have used "NotSoTechie..."
