1. It has been suggested that the angular velocity, ω, of a rotating body or shaft
can be measured by attaching an open cylinder of liquid, as shown in Fig. 1,
and measuring with some type of depth gage the change in the fluid level, H −
h0, Depth caused by the rotation of the fluid. Please determine the relationship
between this change in fluid level and the angular velocity.

2. The capillary phenomenon arises from the resultant force of cohesion within
homogeneous fluids and the adhesive force at heterogeneous interfaces
(between the fluid and the container walls), where TT is referred to as surface
tension. Now, let αα be the contact angle. Please refer to the attached diagram
to derive (a) the height of the rise of the water column and (b) the height of the
decrease of the mercury column, both of which can satisfy the following
equation. ℎ = 2𝑇𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛼⁄𝜌𝑔𝑟 , where 𝜌 is the density of the fluid, g is the
gravitational acceleration on earth surface.

3. Hyperbola at home can be "drawn" by surface tension forces. Put two
rectangular glass plates in a bath with water. Start to close a “book” slowly:
water between plates will rise, and its level will lower according to a familiar
curve-hyperbole (which starts with some gap from a “back of a book”).

4. A closed tank contains compressed air and oil (SGoil = 0.90) as is shown in Fig.
4. A U-tube manometer using mercury (SGHg = 13.6) is connected to the tank
as shown. The column heights are h1 =36 in., h2=6 in., and h3 =9 in.
