An open tank containing liquid is made to move from rest with a uniform acceleration. The angle 0 which the free surface of liquid makes with the horizontal is such that (where a = Horizontal acceleration of the tank, and g = Acceleration due to gravity)

tan θ = a/g

tan θ = 2 a/g

tan θ = a/2g

tan θ = a²/2g
