Problem 101P
Consider a vertical cylindrical container partially filled with water. Now the cylinder is rotated about its axis at a specified angular velocity, and rigid–body motion is established. Discuss how the pressure will be affected at the midpoint and at the edges of the bottom surface due to rotation.
ANSWER:
Step 1:
Consider a vertical cylindrical container partially filled with water. The pressure acts downwards because the water is static. All the points in an area of cross section of the cylinder has the same pressure.
