Two cylindrical vessels of equal cross-sectional area $16\,cm^{2}$ contain water up to heights $100\,cm$ and $150\,cm$ respectively. The vessels are interconnected so that the water levels in them become equal. The work done by the force of gravity during the process is $......J$. [Take density of water $= 10^{3}\,kg/m^{3}$ and $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$]

$A$ liquid is kept in a cylindrical vessel which is rotated along its axis. The liquid rises at the sides. If the radius of the vessel is $0.05\,m$ and the speed of rotation is $2\,rev/s$,the difference in the height of the liquid at the center of the vessel and its sides will be .............. $cm$ $(\pi^2 = 10)$.
