A closed
cylindrical vessel 5 ft in diameter and 6 ft high is 3/4 filled with molasses
(SG = 1.24) and rotated about its vertical axis. Air is pressurized at 14.5
psi.


a.      If w = 50 rpm, solve for the
pressure at the base at the circumference of the vessel


b.      If w = 75 rpm, solve for the
pressure at the base at the circumference of the vessel


c.      Solve for w (in rpm) so that there
is no water at the base of the vessel within 1.8 ft radius
