Question
An open water tanker moving on a horizontal straight road has a cubical block of cork floating over its surface. If the tanker has an acceleration of a as shown in the figure, the acceleration of the cork w.r.t. container is (ignore viscosity) -


Options
A.Zero
B.
C.
D.a
Solution
marel = mgsinθ − macosθ
but for water surface tan θ = a/g

⇒ arel = 0
but for water surface tan θ = a/g

⇒ arel = 0
