Question

The 0.5m long container shown in the figure accelerates downhill, so that the
liquid surface is parallel to the road. (a) estimate how fast should the container accelerate in order to maintain the shown condition.

(b) Suppose the container slows down gradually and stops at the slope in the condition shown, estimate the volume
of liquid spilled (assume the container width, into the page, is 0.2m).
