Question

An oil tanker is partially filled with oil and moves forward on a level road with uniform acceleration. The free surface of oil then 

(a) remains horizontal. 

(b) is inclined to the horizontal with smaller depth at the rear end. 

(c) is inclined to the horizontal with larger depth at the rear end. 

(d) assumes parabolic curves.

Answer 1

(c) is inclined to the horizontal with larger depth at the rear end.

The free surface of oil is inclined to the horizontal with larger depth at the rear end as the oil tanker is moving forward with uniform acceleration.
