Question

A horizontal oriented tube AB of length 5 m rotates with a constant angular velocity 0.5 rad/s about a stationary vertical axis OO' passing through the end A. The tube is filled with ideal fluid. The end A of the tube is open, the closed end B has a very small orifice. The velocity with which the liquid comes out from the hole (in m/s) is

Solution



Let us consider a small elemental length dx at a distance x from the end A.
For a rotating frame with constant angular velocity, the change in pressure for this elemental length is given by,

dPdx=ρω2x
dP=ρω2xdx

Since we need to calculate the pressure at the end B (just before the orifice) the limits of x goes from x=52 to x=5 and limits of P from P0 to P(B)
Integrating both sides,
P(B)P0dP=ρω2552xdx
P(B)P0=ρω253xdx
P(B)=P0+ρω253xdx

Applying the Bernoulli's theorem,
P0+ρω253xdx=P0+12ρv2
ρω22[5232]=12ρv2
(0.5)2×16=v2
v=2 m/s
