    depends on where the piston is, as the force is highest when piston is at its highest position.

    pipe diameter is larger than that of cylinder? 

    At the top, the volume is that of the cylinder + that of pipe

    volume of cylinder is πr²h = π0.1²0.5 = 0.005π m³

    volume of pipe  is πr²h = π0.2²1.6 = 0.064π m³

    total = 0.069π m³

    mass of that water = 1000 kg/m³ x 0.069π m³ = 220 kg

    density of fresh water at 20C = 0.998 g/cm³ = 0.998 kg/L

         = 998 kg/m³ = 8.33 lb/gal = 62.1 lb/ft³
