Question
A beaker filled with water is accelerated at a m/s² in the +x direction. The surface of the water shall make an angle
Options
A.tan⁻¹(a/g) backwards
B.tan⁻¹(a/g) forwards
C.cot⁻¹(g/a) backwards
D.cot⁻¹(g/a) forwards
Solution
For a liquid in a horizontally accelerated container tan θ = a/g, so θ = tan⁻¹(a/g) measured backwards, which is the same angle as cot⁻¹(g/a) backwards.
