i am interested in finding out the thickness of a piston that would not bend when it is: 100 cm in diameter holding a column of water 100 cm in diameter and 20 ft high (around 4000 liters, or as stated above about 9,600 pounds) hope i gave enough info thank you for your time

What i want to do is have a cylinder that is made of steel (don't know what types there are but i guess regular) with a height of 20 ft or so, filled with water. for the bottom of the cylinder i want a piston that would move 6 inches. the volume of the water on top of the piston is about...
