Physics - Fluid Question with Solution | TestHub
A given shaped glass tube having uniform cross section is filled with water and is mounted on a rotatable shaft as shown in figure. If the tube is rotated with a constant angular velocity when
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Due to rotation about the axis , a force is acting on the liquid column outwards, pushing up the liquid column on the right. This centrifugal force acting on the small element of area of cross-section , distant from the axis is
The total force due to column of length is

Pressure at atmospheric pressure +
Pressure at due to liquid column on the right hand side atmospheric pressure
Net pressure due to the left hand side pressure at due to liquid column

As is the same, and . But both will go up.
