A closed tank filled with water is mounted on a cart. The cart moves with an acceleration ' a ' on a plane road. What is the difference in pressure of points B and A , shown in figure ?

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The pressure difference between two points in an accelerating fluid is given by $Δ P = ρ (g h + a l)$ . Here, $h$ is the vertical separation and $l$ is the horizontal separation.

So, $P_{B} - P_{A} = ρ (g h + a l)$ . This matches option C.
