MCQ
A closed compartment containing gas is moving with some acceleration in horizontal direction. Neglect effect of gravity. Then the pressure in the compartment is
- ASame everywhere
- ✓Lower in front side
- CLower in rear side
- DLower in upper side
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Lower in front side
(b) The pressure on the rear side would be more due to fictitious force (acting intheopposite direction of acceleration) on the rear face. Consequently the pressure in the front side would be lowered.
