Question

Suppose that a cylindrical container of radius r and height L is filled with a liquid with volume V , and rotated along the y-axis with constant angular speed ω. This makes the liquid rotate, and eventually at the same angular speed as the container. The surface of the liquid becomes convex as the centrifugal force on the liquid increases with the distance from the axis of the container. The surface of the liquid is a paraboloid of revolution generated by rotating the parabola

y = h + ω2x2/2g

around the y-axis, where g is gravitational acceleration and h is shown below. (You can take g=32ft/s2 or 9.8m/s2).

  1. Express h as a function of ω.

  2. (2)  At what angular speed ω will the surface of the liquid touch the bottom? At what speed will it spill over the top?

  3. (3)  Suppose the radius of the container is 2 ft, the height is 7 ft, and the container and liquid are rotating at the same constant angular speed ω. The surface of the liquid is 5 ft below the top of the tank at the central axis and 4 ft below the top of the tank 1 ft out from the central axis. (It might help to draw a picture.)

    (a) Determine the angular speed of the container and the volume of the fluid.

    (b) How far below the top of the tank is the liquid at the wall of the container?
