Explanation:
We start by using the conservation law of energy:

or

Simplifying the above equation, we get

We can rewrite this as

Note that the expression inside the parenthesis is simply the acceleration due to gravity
so we can write

where
is the launch velocity.
A bell or a siren or a ring in somewhere
According to Newton (2nd law), Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Substitute what we know : Force = (1,000 kg) x (3 m/s²)
Do the arithmetic: Force = 3,000 kg-m/s² = 3,000 newtons
-- Put the rod into the freezer for a while. As it cools,
it contracts (gets smaller) slightly.
-- Put the cylinder into hot hot water for a while. As it heats,
it expands (gets bigger) slightly.
-- Bring the rod and the cylinder togther quickly, before the
rod has a chance to warm up or the cylinder has a chance
to cool off.
-- I bet it'll fit now.
-- But be careful . . . get the rod exactly where you want it as fast
as you can. Once both pieces come back to the same temperature,
and the rod expands a little and the cylinder contracts a little, the fit
will be so tight that you'll probably never get them apart again, or even
move the rod.
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.
In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.
