A given shaped glass tube having uniform cross section is filled with water and is mounted on a rotatable shaft as shown in figure. If the tube is rotated with a constant angular velocity $\mathrm{\omega }$ then

1. Water levels in both sections A and B go up

2. Water level in Section A goes up and that in B comes down

3. Water level in Section A comes down and that in B it goes up

4. Water levels remains same in both sections
