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

A

`(3)/(2)g`

B

`(4)/(3)g`

C

`(4)/(2)g`

D

`(3)/(4)g`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) Volume equality gives

`2xx3 = (1)/(2) xx hxx3 rArr h = 4m`
`:. tan theta = (4)/(3) = (a)/(g) rArr a = (4)/(3)g`

Pressure variation in liquid in accelerated container

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

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

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.

A tank with base area L^2 is filled with a liquid to height H. The tank is acceleration horizontally with acceleration a as shown in figure. If a small hole is made at the point A. then it is observed that the liquid does not come out of the tank. The magnitude of acceleration should be

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)

Earliest hot atmosphere of earth contained

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) )

If the pressure at half the depth of a tank is equal to 2/3 the pressure at the bottom of the tank, then the height of the water column in the tank is ("Atmospheric pressure "=10^5N//m^2 )
