I found #"34,355"N# but check my maths!

Explanation:

Have a look:
enter image source here
Now each noozle has a mass of #3.5Kg# for #1000# you'll have:
#1000*3.5="3,500"Kg#
The weight of this mass of brass will be:
#W=mg="3,500"*9.81="34,355"N# in Newtons.

I used the density of brass from:

The general form of the volume of a half cone of height #h# and radii #a# (top) and #b# (bottom) is from the literature (Murray R. Spiegel, John Liu, Mathematical Handbook of Formulas and Tables, Shaum's Outlines):
#color(red)(V=1/3pih(a^2+ab+b^2))#
