A container shown in Fig. is accelerated horizontally with acceleration `a`.
a. Find the minimum value of `a` at which liquid just starts spilling out.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The level of liquid rises by by `1 m` on the left side and falls by `1 m` on the right side

`a/g=(3/1)/5=2/5`
or `a=0.4g=4m//s^(2)`
