Water flowing through a pipe of area of cross-section $2 \times 10^{-3} \,m^2$ hits a vertical wall horizontally with a velocity of $12 \,m \,s^{-1}$. If the water does not rebound after hitting the wall, then the force acting on the wall due to water is (in $\,N$)

$A$ 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 . . . . . . .
