$A$ tube of length $L$ is filled completely with an incompressible liquid of mass $M$ and closed at both the ends. The tube is then rotated in a horizontal plane about one of its ends with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$. The force exerted by the liquid at the other end is

$A$ tube of length $L = 1 \ m$ is filled completely with an ideal liquid of mass $M_{total} = 2M$,and closed at both ends. The tube is rotated uniformly in a horizontal plane about one of its ends. If the force exerted by the liquid at the other end is $F$,then the angular velocity of the tube is $\sqrt{\frac{F}{\alpha M}}$ in $SI$ units. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

Some liquid is filled in a cylindrical vessel of radius $R$. Let $F_1$ be the force applied by the liquid on the bottom of the cylinder. Now the same liquid is poured into a vessel of uniform square cross-section of side $R$. Let $F_2$ be the force applied by the liquid on the bottom of this new vessel. Then:
