    Figure shows a U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area A, accelerated with acceleration a as shown. If d is the separation between the limbs, then what is the difference in the levels of the liquid in the U-tube is            

    A) \[\frac{ad}{g}\]

    B) \[\frac{ag}{d}\]

    C) \[\frac{a}{d}\]

    D) \[\frac{dg}{a}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Mass of liquid in horizontal portion of U-tube\[=Ad\rho \] Pseudo force on this mass\[=Ad\rho a\] Force due to pressure difference in the two limbs \[=({{h}_{1}}\rho g-{{h}_{2}}\rho g)A\] Equating both the forces \[({{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{2}})\rho gA=Ad\rho a\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,({{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{2}})=\frac{Ad\rho a}{\rho gA}=\frac{ad}{g}\]
