    The acceleration of an U-tube containing a liquid, is\[{{a}_{0}}\]. If the diameter of circular part of U-tube is \[I\] then the difference in the heights of liquid in two arms will be

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{A{{a}_{0}}gI}{2}}\]                               

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{{{a}_{0}}I}{g}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{A{{a}_{0}}g}{{{I}^{2}}}\]               

    D)  \[\frac{{{a}_{0}}I}{g}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The diameter of circular part of U-tube is \[l\]. This means the distance between vertical arms of U-tube is \[l\]. Suppose, the atmospheric pressure is\[{{p}_{a}}.\] Since, U-tube is accelerated horizontally. So, inertia force will be experienced in horizontal direction. As, net force = ma, gives \[{{p}_{a}}A+Al\times \rho \times {{a}_{0}}\]                 \[={{p}_{a}}A+\rho gh\times A\] where, A = area of x-section of tube. and                        \[\rho \]= density. \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[hg={{a}_{0}}l\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[h=\frac{{{a}_{0}}l}{g}\]
