rotating vessel

Situation
An open cylindrical vessel 1.3 m in diameter and 2.1 m high is 2/3 full of water. If rotated about the vertical axis at a constant angular speed of 90 rpm,
1.   Determine how high is the paraboloid formed of the water surface.

A.   1.26 m C.   2.46 m
B.   1.91 m D.   1.35 m

2.   Determine the amount of water that will be spilled out.

A.   140 L C.   341 L
B.   152 L D.   146 L

3.   What should have been the least height of the vessel so that no water is spilled out?

A.   2.87 m C.   3.15 m
B.   2.55 m D.   2.36 m

 

Problem 20 - Rotating Vessel

Problem
A closed cylindrical vessel 3 m. in diameter and 6 m high is filled with water to a height of 4.5 m. The rest is filled with air, the pressure of which is 105 kPa. If the vessel is rotated at 191 rpm about its axis, determine the maximum and minimum inside pressure at the base.
