Questions and Answers

What is the primary condition for a liquid to be in relative equilibrium during rotation?

  • The vessel must rotate uniformly with acceleration.
  • The net external torque acting on the liquid is zero. (correct)
  • The liquid must be in a state of uniform acceleration.
  • The vessel must be rotating in a circular motion.

    • What is the purpose of ensuring the vessel containing the liquid remains stable and securely anchored?

  • To allow for external disturbances to affect the liquid.
  • To increase the centrifugal force on the liquid.
  • To decrease the pressure gradient within the liquid.
  • To prevent movement or instability that can disrupt the equilibrium of the liquid. (correct)

    • What is the principle that applies to a system consisting of a vessel and a liquid in relative equilibrium?

  • Conservation of linear momentum.
  • Conservation of energy.
  • Conservation of mass.
  • Conservation of angular momentum. (correct)
