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.
