Question

A water tanker was completely filled with water. Abhishek saw the driver

covering the mouth of the tanker with a lid. He immediately stopped the

driver from doing so and told him that the tanker can lose balance while

moving and can overturn/topple.

1.Why will the tanker overturn, if its lid is closed?

2.If the moving tanker with more than half-filled with water, applies

sudden brake in which direction will the water fall.

3.What values of Abhishek is seen in the above case?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. If its lid is closed, the water will have no way to get out of the tanker. So, it will put pressure on the sides of the tanker which may lead to its overturning.

2. The water will move in the direction in which the truck was formerly moving. This will happen because of inertia and Newton's 1st law.

3. Abhishek is very thoughtful as he stopped this dangerous activity which may have lead to loss of water and lives.
