Pressure and Density
question_answer
A closed rectangular tank is completely filled with water and is accelerated horizontally with an acceleration a towards right. Pressure is (i) maximum at, and (ii) minimum at
A) (i) B (ii) D
B) (i) C (ii) D
C) (i) B (ii) C
D) (i) B (ii) A
Correct Answer:
A
Solution :
Due to acceleration towards right, there will be a pseudo force in a left direction. So the pressure will be more on rear side (Points A and B) in comparison with front side (Point D and C). Also due to height of liquid column pressure will be more at the bottom (points B and C) in comparison with top (point A and D).
