Know more about Fluid Kinematics and ace the concept of Vortex Motion and Forced Vortex Flow Detalled Solution Concept: For no spilling of water, rise above the original water level Is equal to fall below the original water level Height of paraboloid of revolution, 2 = ~~ where, w = Angular velocity R= Radius of cylinder Calculations: Given Data Diameter = 2m Height of Tank = 4m Depth of water = 1.5 m So, Radius, R= 1m Rise above the original water level for no spilling = 4- 1.5 = 2.5m As, Rise above level = Fall below level So, Fall = 2.5m So, the total height of paraboloid = Rise + Fall = 2.5 +2.5= 5m Putting all that data in above equation, we get, 5 = xe b= w= 9.9 rad/sec Note: Although the total height of the cylinder is 4 m, an imaginary paraboloid will be assumed which will be extending below the bottom level of the cylinder up to 1m, thus, making the total helght of the parabolold 5 m.
