Does the Angle of a V-Tube Influence Fluid Oscillations?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the influence of the angle of a V-shaped tube on the oscillation of a fractionless fluid. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to incorporate the angle into the oscillation equation and questions whether the angle affects the oscillations at all.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to relate the angular frequency of oscillation to the angle of the tube but is unsure about the placement of the angle in the equation. They express doubt about their initial assumption that the angle does not affect oscillations.

Discussion Status

The discussion appears to be in a state of exploration, with the original poster seeking clarification and guidance on the relationship between the angle and fluid oscillations. There is a lack of responses from other participants, indicating limited engagement.

Contextual Notes

The original poster has prior experience with a similar problem involving a U-shaped tube, which may influence their approach to this V-shaped tube scenario. There is a mention of a simple harmonic motion equation, but the specifics of the problem setup remain unclear.

Homework Statement


Basically, the goal of the "project" is to find the equation for oscillation of a "fractionless" fluid in a v-shaped tube, regarding the angle. I know how to solve the same problem regarding a u-shaped tube, but in this case, I can't figure out where to place the angle in the equation... Does the angle even affect the osciallations at all? From where I am now, it seems like it doesn't, but I doubt that's true. Any help is appreciated, thank you :)

Homework Equations


Simple harmonic motion equation.

The Attempt at a Solution


So, I'm currently at w(angular frequency)=sqrt[2*g/(hl+hd/cos(angle)]... is that right?
