AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Physics Centrifugal Force MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
A tube of length L is filled completely with an incompressible liquid of mass M and closed at both the ends. The tube is then rotated in a horizontal plane about one of its ends with a uniform angular velocity ω. The force exerted by the liquid at the other end is:
A
(MLω²)/(2)
B
(ML²ω)/(2)
C
2MLω²
D
(ML²ω²)/(2)
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The force exerted by the liquid at the other end can be calculated using the formula for centrifugal force, which is F = (ML²ω²)/(2). This accounts for the distribution of mass along the length of the tube.
