Length o f a horizontal arm o f a U -tube is L = 1 m and ends of both the vertical arms are open to atmospheric pressure . A liquid of density is poured in the tube such that liquid just fills the horizontal part of the tube as shown in figure. Now one end of the open ends is sealed and the tube is then rotated about a vertical axis passing through the other vertical arm with angular speed rad/sec . If length of each vertical arm is a = 1 m and in the sealed end liquid rises to a height y = 1/2 m , find pressure in the sealed tube during rotation in
When the tube is rotated, the liquid starts to flow radially outwards and air in sealed arm is compressed. Let the shift of the liquid be y as shown in figure.
Let the cross-sectional area of the tube be S. Here element of length dx is rotating with the tube. From the free-body diagram of the element, we can write
Here the pressure difference between points A and B can be given by integrating the pressure difference across an element of width dx, which is given as
Now integrating from A to B, we get
The pressure at point C can be given as
At point A, pressure is atmospheric . Thus, we have
