Question

A closed rectangular vessel completely fllled with a liquid of density ρ moves with an acceleration a = g. The value of the pressure difference at point A and B i.e., (P1-P2) is:

Moderate
Solution

Let pressure at the opening be P0. Then,
P1 = P0+ρgb while P2 = P0+ρgh 

Subtracting: P1-P2 = ρg(b-h)
