Homework Statement


If there is a horizontal tube rotating on axis in horizontal plane. it is filled with an ideal gas , So which end will the pressure be higher ?
the end on axis?? or the free end

Homework Equations



P.A= m .w^2 .r

The Attempt at a Solution



i think the free end should have higher pressure which provides centripetal force[/B]
