Question

A crude accelerometer can be made from a liquid-filled U-tube as shown in fig 4. Derive an expression for the acceleration ‘a’ in terms of liquid level difference h, tube geometry, and fluid properties.

Answer 1

Explanation:

g(h2−h1)h2+h1)(g(h2-h1)h2+h1)

Solution :

tanϕ=ag=h2−h1h2+h1⇒a=g(h2−h1)h2+h1tanϕ=ag=h2-h1h2+h1⇒a=g(h2-h1)h2+h1
