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:


the shape,

the location of the lowest point as a function of the angular velocity,

the curvature.
