We know that
δp = ρv2 = ρ.ω2r2 = δω2r δr r r
[∵ v = ω × r]p δp = r ρω2r dr 0 0 p = ρ ω2r2 2
Area of circular ring = 2πrdr
Force on elementry ring
= Intensity of pressure × Area of ring= ρ ω2r22πr dr 2
∴ Total force on the top of the cylinder= R ρ ρω2r22π r dr 0 2 = ρ ρω2r22π R r3 dr 2 0 ρ . ω22π R2 = ρ ω2 × πR4 2 4 4
Thrust at the bottom of the cylinder
= Weight of water in cylinder + Total force on the top of cylinder= ρg × πR2 × H + ρ ω2 × πR4 4 = πR2 ρω2R2 + ρgH 4 Correct Option: D
