Dinertia forces during starting and stopping
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) the speed of the bowl and the condition of seal "U". The force developed by the liquid within space "J" of the device shown in the illustration depends on the speed of the bowl and the condition of the seal "U". As the bowl rotates at a certain speed, the liquid inside the bowl is subjected to centrifugal force, which creates a pressure difference between the inner and outer regions of the bowl. This pressure difference, in turn, depends on the speed of the bowl and the condition of the seal "U", which helps maintain the pressure differential. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the factors that influence the force developed by the liquid within space "J".
