15. A closed rectangular tank is completely filled with water and is accelerated horizontally with an acceleration a towards right. Pressure is (i) maximum at, and (ii) minimum at
(a) (i) B (ii) D
(b) (i) C (ii) D
(c) (i) B (ii) C
(d) (i) B (ii) A
Explanation- (a)
Due to acceleration towards right, there will be a pseudo force in a left direction. So the pressure will be more on rear side (Points A and B) in comparison with front side (Point D and C).
Also due to height of liquid column pressure will be more at the bottom (points B and C) in comparison with top (point A and D).
So overall maximum pressure will be at point B and minimum pressure will be at point D.
