A cylindrical vessel with closed ends, radius 0.3 m, length 0.6 m, is full of water and rotates with its axis vertical. The vessel is connected through a centrally placed gland in its base through a pipe to a reservoir in which the water level is 3.0 m above the base of the cylinder. The cylinder, complete with water, is forced to rotate at a steady speed of 240 rev/min. Calculate the static pressure in kN/m2 at the top of the cylinder at a radius of 0.3 m and the total upthrust on the lid.
