Question

An open cubical tank completely filled with water is kept on a horizontal surface. Its acceleration is then slowly increasesd to `2m//s^(2)` as shown in the figure. The side of the tank is 1m. Find the mass of water that would spill out of the tank.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - 100 kg
`tan theta = (a)/(g) implies tantheta = 0.2`
`0.2=(x)/(1)`
`x=0.2`
mass spill out `=Vrho`
mass spill out `=Axx1xx1000`
mass spill out `=(1)/(2)xx1xx0.2xx1000kg`
mass spill out `=100kg`
