The minimum horizontal acceleration of t...

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`

    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 )
