What is fluid statics? $OR$ What is fluid mechanics?

$A$ liquid is taken in a long vertical cylindrical vessel and the cylinder is rotated about its vertical axis as shown in the figure. During rotation, the liquid rises along its sides. If the radius of the vessel is $0.05 \,m$ and the speed of rotation is $10 \,rad \,s^{-1}$, then the height difference between the liquid at the centre of the vessel and its sides is $\left(g=10 \,m \,s^{-2}\right)$.
