When a liquid rotates at constant angular velocity about a vertical axis of a rigid body, the pressure
Explanation:
A fluid is rotating at constant angular velocity ω about the central vertical axis of a cylindrical container.
The variation of pressure in the radial direction is given by:
It is given that the pressure at the axis of rotation is Pc.
Therefore, the required pressure at any point r is :
Hence we can say that pressure varies as the square of the radial distance.
