One cubic foot of water weighs 62.42796 pounds. The volume of a 10 foot long 6 inch diameter cylinder is 1.96350 cubic feet, thus it displaces 122.5770 pounds of water when fully submerged.

As I do not know the wall thickness of the PVC pipe and caps you plan to use I cannot calculate its weight. However if I assume for illustration purposes that the pipe weighs 5 pounds per foot and each cap weighs 2 pounds, then the capped pipe weighs 54 pounds. Subtracting this would mean that the capped pipe will support 68.5770 pounds when fully submerged.

Do not trust this final number because as I stated I guessed at the weight of the PVC components so that I could illustrate the calculation. Determine the actual weight of the PVC components you are using yourself and recalculate that final subtraction. Also for safety you should provide a margin of at least 10% on your final values to allow for anything that may not have been accounted for.

Why has nature given small feet to rat while an elephant has huge feet?

The size of an animal's feet is directly related to its body size and weight-bearing requirements. Rats have small feet relative to their body size because they are small, lightweight animals that need nimble feet for agility and balance. In contrast, elephants have huge feet to support their massive body weight and distribute the pressure evenly across the ground to prevent sinking in soft terrain. This adaptation helps elephants move efficiently and support their weight without causing harm to their feet.
