A vessel containing water is given a constant acceleration a towards the right along a straight horizontal path. Which of the following diagrams represents the surface of the liquid
A
B
C
D
None of these
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Net force on the free surface of the liquid in equilibrium (from accelerated frame) should be perpendicular to it. Forces on a water particle P on the free surface have been shown in the figure. In the figure ma is the pseudo force.
