PROBLEM EXERCISE
1.) A closed cylindrical vessel, 2m in diameter and 4m high is filled with water to
a depth of 3m. The rest is filled with air (air pressure = 100 kPa). If the vessel
is rotated at 152 rpm, determine the pressure at the circumference at the
bottom of the tank.
2.) A closed cylindrical vessel, 2m in diameter and 4m high is filled with water to
a depth of 3m and is rotated about its own vertical axis at a constant angular
speed, ω. The air inside is under pressure of 120 kPa.
a.) If ω = 12 rad/sec, what is the pressure at the center and circumference at
the bottom of the tank.
b.) What angular speed ω will just zero the depth of water at the center?
c.) If ω = 20 rad/sec, how much area at the bottom is uncovered?
