A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill in a town (use Figure for Problems 1–6). The cylindrical tower has a radius of 12.0 m and a height of 50.0 m.

1. Find the total force on the bottom of the water tower.
2. Find the total force on the sides of the water tower.
3. Find the pressure (in kPa) on the bottom of the water tower.
4. What is the water pressure (in kPa) at the fire station?
5. What is the water pressure (in kPa) at the school?
6. A cylindrical grain bin 24.0 ft in diameter is filled with corn whose weight density is 45.1 lb/ft3. How tall can the bin be for the floor to support 94.0 lb/in2 ofpressure?
