I have a container that is 20cm tall and filled fully with water. The lift accelerates up at 10 m/s2. What is the pressure difference between the top surface of the water and the bottom of the container(in pascal)? Take density of water as 1kg/lit.

Solution
The correct option is C4×104 Since the container is accelerating up, effective g will be g′=g+a=10m/s2+10m/s2=20m/s2
The pressure difference from top to bottom will be hρg′=0.2×1000×20 =4×103Pa
