hi...
i have this question:
what would be the force in kilograms to press the entire volume of water from the container up the pipe at 30ft. ( some of the water will remain in the pipe of course).

Hi alibaba2!

(I assume the pipe is open at the top, so the water just spills out and disappears.)

You need to calculate the force needed to lift a 2 ft cube of water to the top of a 30 foot pipe.

So the formula you should use is … ?

Well, what principle do you think would help … energy? … momentum? … work? … something else?

Hint: how much force is needed to raise a one-cubic-foot bucket of water a height of one foot? ​
