A.1. Translation and Rotation
of Liquid Mass
Relative Equilibrium of Liquids
Is a condition where the whole mass of liquid
including the vessel in which the liquid is
contained, is moving at uniform accelerated
motion with respect to the earth, but every
particle of liquid have no relative motion
between each other. There are two cases of
relative equilibrium that will be discussed in this
section: linear translation and rotation.
Cases of Relative Equilibrium
1. Linear Translation
A. Horizontal Motion
B. Inclined Motion
C. Vertical Motion

2. Rotation
Horizontal Motion
Problem 1
An open rectangular tank 3 m
long, 2.5 m wide and 1.25 m deep
is completely filled with water. If
the tank is moved with an
acceleration of 1.5 m/s2, find the
slope of the free surface of water
and the quantity of water which
will spill out of the tank.
Inclined Motion
Problem 2
A rectangular box containing
water is accelerated at 3 m/s2
upwards on an inclined plane 30
degrees to with the horizontal.
Find the slope of the free liquid
surface.

Vertical Motion
Problem 3
An open rectangular tank 4 m
long, 2.5 m wide contains an oil
of specific gravity 0.85 up to a
1.5 m Oil
depth of 1.5 m. Determine the
total pressure on the bottom of SG = 0.85
the tank, when the tank is moving
with an acceleration of g/2 m/s2:
a. Vertically upwards
4m
b. Vertically downwards
 Rotation –
Rotating Vessel
Problem 4
A closed cylindrical vessel 3 m in
diameter and 6 m high is filled
with water to a height of 4.5 m.
The rest is filled with air, the
pressure of which is 105 kPa. If
the vessel is rotated at 191 rpm
about its axis, determine the
maximum and minimum inside
pressure at the base.
