Question
Consider the equations `P=lim_(triangles->0)"F"/(triangle"S")` and P1 - P2 = pgz. In an elevator accelerating upward
Options
both the equations are valid
the first is valid but not the second
the second is valid but not the first
both are invalid

Solution
the first is valid but not the second
For a point inside the elevator, pressure can be defined as `P=lim_(triangles->0)"F"/(triangle"S")`. It is independent of the acceleration of the elevator.
The modified form of the second equation, which will be valid in the given case, is given by P1 - P2 = ρ(g+a0)z
Here, acceleration a0 (say) due to elevator accelerating upwards is also taken into account.

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at x = L and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension S and density ρ, the liquid surface makes angle θ(θ << 1) with the x-axis at x = L. If y(x) is the height of the surface then the equation for y(x) is:
(take θ(x) = sin θ(x) = tan θ(x) = `dy/dx`, g is the acceleration due to gravity)
