falls on the back side of the tank
remains the same at both sides of the tank
rises on the back side and falls on the front side
none of these.

Option D is correct, because the truck is moving with constant acceleration, and acceleration means rate of change of velocity.

For constant velocity the water level same on both sides. But at constant acceleration velocity changes equally per unit time. That push the liquid back.

@All

Given answer is correct:
ax =a and az= 0 then dz/DX = -ax/az+g becomes -ax/az ie opp to the slope of free liquid surface.

I think there may be inertia concept. As a truck moving in a forward direction inertia will act opposite to it and water level rises on back side.

C is correct as the truck is moving in constant horizontal acceleration.
NUzvid said:   7 years ago
Option C is correct.

Since the truck is moving with constant acceleration it is representing Uniform flow situation.
