A horizontal cylindrical tank has radius R m. One end of the tank is a fixed disk, but the other end is a circular piston of radius R m free to travel along the length of the tank. There is some water in the tank between the piston and the fixed end; its depth depends on the position of the piston. What force does the water exert on the piston when the surface of the water is y m (-R < y< R) above the centre of the piston face? (See Figure 7.50.)
