Question:

A fuel tank for a rocket in space under a zero-g environment is rotated to keep the fuel in one end of the tank. The system is rotated at 3 rev/min. The end of the tank (point A) is 1.5 m from the axis of rotation, and the fuel level is 1 m from the rotation axis. The pressure in the nonliquid end of the tank is 0.1 kPa, and the density of the fuel is 800 kg/m3. What is the pressure at the exit (point A)?
