Question

4.
A beaker is half filled with water. It is allowed
to slip down an inclined plane with angle of
inclination to the horizontal. The level of
water in the beaker will be :-
EFE
(1)
(2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

The beaker will move with an acceleration, down the inclined plane. Therefore, in the frame of reference of beaker, a pseudo force will be acting on the water opposite to the motion of the beaker i.e. in the direction up the inclined plane. To balance this force, the pressure exerted by the water on the opposite wall of the beaker will be more than normal due to which the water will shift more towards the wall. Therefore the correct option is Option (2).
