Question

A closed compartment containing a liquid is moving with some acceleration in the horizontal direction. Neglecting effect of gravity, the pressure is compartment is:

• A. lower in front side
• B. lower in upper side
• C. lower rear side
• D. same everywhere

Answer 1

The correct option is A

lower in front side

Due to pseudo force the particles experience a resultant force at angle $ta{n}^{-1}\left(\frac{a}{g}\right)$ and hence the shape of liquid or gas in such a container will be
