How Do Shell and Liquid Forces Achieve Equilibrium in a Hemispherical Container?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the equilibrium of liquid and shell forces in a rotating hemispherical container. The force balance equations derived include the downward force from the upper hemispherical shell, calculated as ##\frac{1}{3}\pi R^3ρg##, and the upward force from the liquid, which is equal to the same value. The participants explore the implications of the liquid's rotation with the shell, concluding that if the liquid rotates, the pressure distribution can be described using the equation ##P(x) = \frac{1}{2}ρ ω^2 R^2 + ρgR##, leading to a pressure of ##\frac{3}{2}ρgR## at the bottommost point. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding pressure gradients in rotating fluids.
