A closed rectangular tank `10 m` long, `5 m` wide and `3 m` deep is completely filled with an oil of specific gravity `0.92`. Find the pressure difference between the rear and front corners of the tank, if it is moving with an acceleration of `3m//s^(2)` in the horizontal direction.

A

`27.6Pa`

B

`27.6kPa`

C

`276Pa`

D

`276kPa`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We consider a fluid body of cross sectional area A (shown in the figure).

`P_(1)A-P_(2)A=ma`
or `(P_(1)-P_(2))A=rhoA//a`
or `P_(1)-P_(2)=rhola=0.92xx10xx3=27.6kPa`
