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 -
  1. g/2 upward
  2. g/2 downward
  3. g/4 upward
  4. not possible

Answer

(A) g/2 upward
