Water from a reservoir is raised in a vertical tube of internal diameter D =30 cm under the influence of the pulling force F of a piston. Determine the force needed to raise the water to a height of h = 1.5 m above the free surface. What would your response be for h = 3 m? Also, taking the atmospheric pressure to be 96 kPa, plot the absolute water pressure at the piston face as h varies from 0 to 3 m.
