how to calculate the force created by liquid thermal expansion
(OP)
Can anyone tell me how to calculate the force created by liquid thermal expansion? (equations would be nice :D )

Things expand when they get warm. We use the term Thermal expansion. research this for liquids, you might even peek at gases too.
So with that, you'll need to understand compressibility, can you say compressibility. We use bulk modulus sometimes to mean compressibility of liquids. look it up.
Now, mass balance. If we put a fixed mass in the container, it must always be there right? But when we heat it up, the mass expands, so same mas larger volume, what happens, I'll give you this equation
density = Mass/volume
so we can compress the liquid by adding pressure. see whats next.....

Is the container open at the top? Or is it a closed container with vapor space filled with air or some other gas?

MrMax99, if you read Joe's and Dcasto's comments you have your answer. Both for actual and potential forces. You should be able to deduce anything else you might need from here.
