A vessel containing water is given a constant acceleration a towards the right,a straight horizontal path. Which of the following diagram represents the surface of the liquid.

A

B

C

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Let us consider a small dotted segment of thickness dx for observation. Since this segment is accelerated towards right, a net force is acting on this segment towards right (from the liquid towards the left of ABCD). According to Newton’s third law, the segment ABCD will also apply a force on the previous section creating a pressure on it which makes the liquid rise.
