Suppose I have a fluid of uniform density confined to a roating cylinder of radius r turning at an angular speed of \Omega. Now I am considering the fluid in the rotating frame and I know that the fluid is in equilibrium. What does this imply? If the fluid is in equilibrium are there any...

Here is the problem: (Question 5-2 in Binney&Tremaine Galactic Dynamics) Consider a homogeneous self-gravitating fluid of uniform density \rho_0 contained within a rotating cylinder of radius R_0. The cylinder and the fluid rotate at angular speed \Omega about the axis of the cylinder, which...
