  1. A closed cylinder having a radius R and height H is filled with oil of density ρ. If the cylinder is rotated about its axis at an angular velocity of ω, the thrust at the bottom of the cylinder is
    1. πR2ρ.gH
    2. πR2
      ρ ω2 R2
      4
    3. πR2(ρ ω2R2 + ρ gH)
    4. πR2
      ρ ω2R2
      + ρ gH
      4
Correct Option: D

We know that
