The Wide World of Fluids article titled "Rotating mercury mirror telescope,". The largest liquid mirror telescope uses a 6-ft-diameter tank of mercury rotating at \(7 \mathrm{rpm}\) to produce its parabolic-shaped mirror as shown in Fig. P2.163. Determine the difference in elevation of the mercury, \(\Delta h\), between the edge and the center of the mirror.
