A float sensor for the determination of the level of water in a vessel has a cylindrical float of mass cross-sectional area and a length of 1.5 m. It floats vertically in the water and presses upwards against a beam attached to its upward end. What will be the minimum and maximum upthrust forces exerted by the float on the beam? Suggest a means by which the deformation of the beam under the action of the upthrust force could be monitored.
