The minimum horizontal acceleration (in ${ms}^{- 2}$ ) of the container filled with water upto height of $2 m$ as shown, so that the pressure at point $A$ of the container becomes atmospheric is (the tank is of sufficient height)

Open in App

Solution

As the container accelerates, free surface of liquid tilts as shown below
Volume equality gives
$2 \times 3 = \frac{1}{2} \times h \times 3 \Rightarrow h = 4 m$

$∴ tan θ = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{a}{g} \Rightarrow a = \frac{4}{3} g = 13.33 {ms}^{- 2}$
