A tube filled with water and closed at both ends uniformly rotates in a horizontal plane about the OO' axis. The manometers A and B fixed in the tube at distances r1 and r2 from rotational axis indicate pressure p1 and p2, respectively. Determine the angular velocity ω of rotation of the tube:
Applying
Bernoulli's principle, we have
p1+12ρv12=p2+12ρv22⇒p2−p1=12ρv12−12ρv22⇒p2−p1=12ρω2r21−12ρω2r22⇒2(p2−p1)ρ(r21−r22)=ω2⇒ω=√2(p2−p1)ρ(r21−r22)
