Detalled SolutionConcept:
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.
