Force
Question

A tube of length L is filled completely with an incompressible liquid of mass M and closed at both the ends. The tube is then rotated in a horizontal plane about one of its ends with a uniform angular velocity ω. The force exerted by the liquid at the other ends is :

Moderate
Solution

Consider a small mass element dm at a distance x from axis of rotation.
Required force F=dF=(dm)ω2x=0LMLω2xdx=2L2
OR As force on element dFx so total force = Average force
Therefore F=0+2L2=2L2
