Problem 2: A simple shower for remote locations is designed with a cylindrical tank 500 mm in diameter and 1.800 m high as shown in the figure below. The water flows through a flapper valve in the bottom through a 75-mm-diameter opening. The flapper must be pushed upward to open the valve. How much force is required to open the valve?
