Principle

A vessel containing liquid is rotated about an axis. The liquid surface forms a paraboloid of rotation, the parameters of which will be determined as a function of the angular velocity.

Benefits

• Didactical unique
• Interdisciplinary use also in applied sciences or physical chemistry

Tasks

On the rotating liquid surface, the following are determined:

1. the shape,
2. the location of the lowest point as a function of the angular velocity,
3. the curvature.

What you can learn about

• Angular velocity
• Centrifugal force
• Rotary motion
• Paraboloid of rotation
• Equilibrium
