The minimum horizontal acceleration of the container4 so that pressure at the point A of the container becomes atmospheric is (The tank is of sufficient height)

A

`3/2g`

B

`4/3g`

C

`4/2g`

D

`3/4g`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Volume equality gives
`2xx3=1/2xxhxx3impliesh=4m`
`:. tantheta=4/3=a/gimpliesa=4/3g`

The minimum horizontal acceleration of the container a so that pressure at the point A of the container becomes atmospheric is (The tank is of sufficient height)

Figure shows an L -shaped tube tilled with a liquid to a height H . What should be the horizontal acceleration a of the tube so that the pressure at the point A becomes atmospheric.

Pressure variation in liquid in accelerated container

Prove that the pressure exerted by water at the bottom of the container depends on the height of its column.

To illustrate th principle of a rocket, a student designed a water rocket as shwon in the figure. It is basically a container having pressurized gas in its upper part and water in its lower part. Pressure of the gas is 4.0Mpa. Mass of empty container is 1.0kg and mass of its content is also 1.0kg. The nozzle at the bottom is opened to impart a vertical acceleration to the contaienr. If it is desired that the initial upwards acceleration of the container be 0.5g. what should be the cross sectional area (A) of the exit of the nozzle? Neglect the pressure due to height of water in the contaienr and take atmospheric pressure to be 1.0MPa. g= 10ms^(-2) .

The pressure at the bottom of a tank containing a liquid does not depend on

If the container filled with liquid gets accelerated horizontally or vertically, pressure in liquid gets changed. In liquid ( a_(y) ) for calculation of pressure, effective g is used. A closed box horizontal base 6 m by 6 m and a height 2m is half filled with liquid. It is given a constant horizontal acceleration g//2 and vertical downward acceleration g//2 . Water pressure at the bottomof centre of the box is equal to (atmospheric pressure =10^(5)N//m^(2) density of water =1000 kg//m^(3),g=10m//s^(2) )

A rectangular container moves with an acceleration a along the positive direction as shown in figure. The pressure at the A in excess of the atmospheric pressure p_(0) is (take rho as the density of liquid)

For the L -shaped vessel shown in the figure, determine the value of acceleration a so that pressure at point A becomes equal to p_(0)/2 ? ( p_(0) is the atmospheric pressure)
