When at rest, a liquid stands at the same level in the tubes as shown in the figure. But as indicated, a height difference h occurs when the system is given an acceleration a towards the right. Then h is equal to

1. \(\frac{\mathrm{aL}}{2 \mathrm{~g}}\)
2. \(\frac{\mathrm{gL}}{2 \mathrm{a}}\)
3. \(\frac{\mathrm{gL}}{\mathrm{a}}\)
4. \(\frac{\mathrm{aL}}{\mathrm{~g}}\)

Answer

(D) aL ~g
