The pressure outside (atmosphere) is greater than that inside the tube. This means that the mercury will be pushed up in the glass tube. This phenomenon is called the capillary rise. It shape would be like that of the outside of the umbrella. The answer is therefore letter D.

Answer:

13.37 rev/min

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s², centripetal acceleration (a_c) = 1.8 * g = 1.8 * 9.8 m/s² = 17.64 m/s².

r = 9 m

Centripetal acceleration (a_c) is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\\\v=\sqrt{a_c*r} \\\\v=\sqrt{17.64\ m/s^2*9\ m}\\\\v=12.6\ m/s

The velocity (v) is given by:

v = ωr;  where ω is the angular velocity

Hence:

ω = v/r = 12.6 / 9

ω = 1.4 rad/s

ω = 2πN

N = ω/2π = 1.4 / 2π

N = 0.2228 rev/s

N = 13.37 rev/min
