Question
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 $\omega$. Determine the force exerted by the liquid at the other end.

Answer

Consider a small element of the liquid of length dx at a distance x from one end. 
Image
Mass of the small element $=\frac{M}{L} d x$
Centripetal force associated with the element
$
d F=\left(\frac{M}{L} d x\right) x \omega^2\left[\because F=m r \omega^2\right]
$
Force exerted by the liquid = Total centripetal force at the other end
$
\begin{aligned}
& F=\int d F=\int_0^L \frac{M}{L} \omega^2 x d x=\frac{M}{L} \omega^2\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^L \\
& =\frac{M}{L} \omega^2 \frac{L^2}{2}=\frac{1}{2} M \omega^2 L
\end{aligned}

A particle is projected in air at an angle $\beta$ to a surface which itself is inclined at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal (Fig.).
  1. Time of flight.
(Hint: This problem can be solved in two different ways:
  1. Point P at which particle hits the plane can be seen as intersection of its trajectory (parobola) and straight line. Remember particle is projected at an angle $(\alpha+\beta)$ w.r.t. horizontal.
  2. We can take x-direction along the plane and y-direction perpendicular to the plane. In that case resolve g (acceleration due to gravity) in two differrent components, $g_x$ along the plane and $g_y$ perpendicular to the plane. Now the problem can be solved as two independent motions in x and y directions respectively with time as a common parameter.)
