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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the influence of the angle of a V-tube on fluid oscillations, specifically for a fractionless fluid. The participant initially struggles to incorporate the angle into the oscillation equation but ultimately concludes that the angle does not affect the oscillations. The relevant equation for angular frequency is presented as w = sqrt[2*g/(hl + hd/cos(angle))], although the participant expresses uncertainty about its correctness before resolving the issue independently.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of simple harmonic motion equations

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?
