Consider a glass of water. Compare the water pressures at the bottom surface for the following cases: the glass is (a) stationary, (b) moving up at constant velocity, (c) moving down at constant velocity, and (d) moving horizontally at constant velocity.
Consider two identical glasses of water, one stationary and the other moving on a horizontal plane with constant acceleration. Assuming no splashing or spilling occurs, which glass will have a higher pressure at the (a) front, (b) midpoint, and (c) back of the bottom surface?
Consider a vertical cylindrical container partially filled with water. Now the cylinder is rotated about its axis at a specified angular velocity, and rigid-body motion is established. Discuss how the pressure will be affected at the midpoint and at the edges of the bottom surface due to rotation.
