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 .
What is the value of vertical acceleration of box for given horizontal acceleration (g/2), so that no part of bottom of box is exposed -
- g/2 upward
- g/2 downward
- g/4 upward
- not possible
Answer
(A) g/2 upward
