Question
A vesal 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 ?
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.None of these
Solution

Net force on the free surface of the liquid in equilibriumj (from acceleration frame) should be perpendcular to it.
Force on a water particle P on the free surface have been shown in the figure. In the figure ma is the pseudo force.
