A confusing experiment
You don't give the height of the column of water so the weight of it is meaningless. In fact, it has to be pretty darned high by my quick in-the-head calculations (100's of feet).
Since the flud needs a lot more than that you number is too low, no?
The toaster 'joke' maybe cute but it obfuscates your point and I'm not sure that Archimedes is needed here anyway.
