If the container filled with liquid gets accelerated horizontally or vertically, pressure in liquids gets changed. In case of horizontally accelerated liquid (ax), the free surface has the slope ax/g. In case of vertically accelerated liquid (ay) for calculation of pressure, effective g is used. A closed box with horizontal base 6 m by 6m and a height 2m is half filled with liquid. It is given constant horizontal acceleration g/2 and vertical downward acceleration g/2 .
Length of exposed portion of top of box is equal to -
  1. 2m
  2. 3m
  3. 4m
  4. 2.5 m

Answer

(C) 4m
