This paper examines the dynamic characteristics of liquid columns when late
ral sinusoidal vibration is applied. The first, second and third resonant f
requencies shift to a higher frequency region as the magnetic held intensit
y increases. For a magnetic fluid column, the second and third resonant fre
quencies show interesting behaviour as the magnetic held is varied. (C) 199
