Q. As shown in the figure below, there is a beaker of radius . Water is filled in the beaker up to a height . The density of water is , the surface tension of water is and the atmospheric pressure is . Consider a vertical section ABCD of the water column through a diameter of the beaker. What is the magnitude of the force on the water on one side of this section by the water on the other side of this section ?:

Solution:

Force from right hand side liquid on left hand side liquid,
(i) Due to surface tension force
= 2RT (towards right)
(ii) Due to liquid pressure force

= (2p0Rh + Rρgh2) (towards left)
Net force is |2p0Rh + Rρgh2 - 2RT|
